We disagree in that you think we need to criticize Russia while supporting it covertly but I say there is simply no need to criticize Russia at all. Everything that it does, it does because it was pushed. Every moral rule that it breaks, it does so because NATO/the US has already broken it before. There is no need to say that they are all wrong; the US/NATO was wrong to push Russia, so whatever "wrong" Russia needs to commit to fight back is the fault of the US/NATO. I have no criticism of Russia whatsoever as I see it do whatever it takes to defend itself and on that road, create room for China to maneuver/grow.So what exactly do you disagree about? Why did you reply to my post originally?
I support China's geostrategy of covertly economically supporting one weaker imperialist (Russia) against a stronger imperialist (USA), but we still must acknowledge that Russian actions are imperialistic, therefore maintain political neutrality at UNSC and other international forums. Some Russophiles are angry that I criticize Russian actions as 'imperialism' and call me a "pro-US shill" to attempt to shut me up because I'm feeding a "Western narrative" to split Russia-China. These Russophiles don't want any legitimate criticism of Russian actions or propaganda and say "international laws and principles don't matter." But my point is, they matter enough for China to be neutral at UNSC, so you can't say it doesn't matter at all. Also, acknowledging reality is important to make informed decisions, and acknowledging reality does not make me "anti-Russia and pro-US".
