    > NEW YORK – Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen blasted China for supporting Russia in its war against Ukraine and accused Beijing of not playing by international trade rules.

    > "We cannot continue a situation where China helps Russia in a war in Europe, without consequences. They have to be held responsible for their activities.”

    > "Do you really believe that Russia would just say, 'OK, thank you,' and then do nothing else? I don't. We need to push Russia one day to negotiate on peace, but it has to be driven by a wish for Russia to actually have peace," she said.

    Lets start with the CSTO first before you go forcing China’s hand into actually supporting Russia. For the past 3 years they’ve been doing the bare minimum, trying to have their cake and eat it too. but avoid getting sanctioned and put on a path of conflict with the west.

    at the very least if they’re going to adopt this kind of attitude, which im not saying they shouldnt, is start with the Central asian countries who are effectively money-laundering for Russia, What is the point in banning exports of X Y Z to Russia, when Russians and sympathisers in Kazakhstan or Kygryzstan just buy them, and flip them back to Moscow?

    Those are both poor countries, Kygyrzstan especially, but ever since 2022 all one has to do is look at the amount of imports for technology , mechanical, and assembled products absolutely shooting to the moon, and you’ll realize whats going on, they’re just laundering goods for Russia, both domestic, and military use

  3. Why can’t china help Russia? There will always be two sides in war. Some countries will be your side others wont

  4. I just came here to say I love the way Danish politicians have been coming out swinging on Russian aggression lately.

    Sure, but let’s also hold Europe responsible for buying Russian energy second hand.

  6. Would rather hold them responsible for Holocaust 2.0 going on in west China right now, but we gotta start somewhere eh?

  7. ProofByVerbosity on

    That relationship has been eroding lately and China is strong-arming Russia a bit. Hopefully that escalates.

  8. And how is this reasonable? There are two warring parties. It’s perfectly ok for the west to support one by sending arms to it exclusively, but if anyone supports the other – or even just buys oil – that party is totally evil?
