Extreme Right or left of Western nationalism, imperialism and white supremacists are all fascists.
Personally, I don't think China will send arms to Russia.
Putin made the first move on Ukraine, so he should either finish the job himself or go home.
Its important to note that we are strategic partners with Russia, not allies. China follows its own plan regarding its relations with the West and it won't allow Putin to highjack China's foreign policy because he wasn't prepared for a full war and instead decided to do the "brother" war.
IMO China will only intervene if it senses that Russia may collapse. Until that happens, Putin should wage the war by himself. China's diplomatic and economic support for Russia in this war is already almost unprecedented for the past decades.
People who followed the thread from the beginning would remember that from day 1 I kept saying:
"A lioness will use all of her strength even when hunting a rabbit."
That Putin decided to do a half-arsed war is not China's fault.

First of all, decoupling is a lot more than just oil.
What was seen recently is nothing compared to what we are just beginning to see now.
Decoupling is still far worse for the smaller economy in a global world.
Secondly.
North Sea oil only became economically viable after the Middel East oil crises.
The same could be said for the Arctic and other remote places with untapped remaining oil.
Old enemies could become new allies and so on.
Pure speculation though (but still interesting).
That the EU is already set on slowly facing out Russian energy is not.
The rest is already decoupled and might remain so for the foreseeable future.
Both wealthy and large economies today?
Not destroyed, sure. But not exactly thriving either.
(still better than North Korea with its almost completely isolated tiny economy though)
People never really ask for help in time for a moderate amount of help to make any difference. By the time Russia really need Chinese munition, It will probably require a massive airlift to transfer enough equipment to have a hope of making any difference whatsoever
No doubt that both the West and Russia are involved in intense economic warfare now with the rest of the world as mostly innocent bystanders. Also why this war is more than just some local european conflict. It definitely has global ramifications.
Dude, you left out so many American Imperialist wars of oppression, that it’s not funny!
