Biden threatens sanctions on China for supplying Russia with weapons

“The national security adviser and the president are not above moving ahead on sanctions in an unprecedented fashion. If I were in Beijing, I’d take the threats from the United States quite seriously at this point.”

Why can’t we all just get along? No easy options other than to speed up Ukraines ability to get this victory over the line asap. If that means jets and longer range missiles then so be it. Don’t give China any time to get further involved. Russia needs to suffer the pain of defeat now.

USSR2 must never ever form again! Help Ukraine to Win

Support for Russia can only cost China its economy. As this is, by all accounts, about to melt down anyway. it could divert blame to the inevitable sanctions., and not incompetent governance.

First we need to answer one simple question. Can you buy anything that is NOT Made in China in the US? Only thing I can think of is the US treasury bills.

Didn't Putin fail to tell the Chinese that he was going to invade? Then he comes to them with his hat in his hands? That's like a 15 year-old leaving home without a word then calling mum and dad for money for dinner.

If they do. It's to test their own weapons for preparation for Taiwan.

Ok us to send anti ship missiles and anti air defense systems to tiawan would be the next step. They could make it totally impossible for china to even think about tiawan very easy .

Time to put Russia and China in their place for once and for all.

[Vadderax]

This not surprising at all. What did you expect? Decisions have consequences. The USA opened the door when they sent aid to Ukraine. So don't complain that other countries will do the same to send aid to Russia.

Serpents no matter how huge or mighty they look but when dealing with a tiny porcupine they are heading for a big headache

[davidbrunsdon]

China already has Russia as a captive market, unfortunately Russia's economy was the size of Italy - before sanctions. I don't see China likely to risk Western sanctions and losing significant markets to support Putin's war.

The West is an important trading partner for China. But Russia has enormous resources. Food, metals, fertilizers, oil, gas, timber, a whole sea of ​​fresh water. Plus, it's a huge area. Money is paper, and resources are material. Russia was the main prize of any European war. And now, regardless of the outcome, the main prize will go to China. Having received Russia, the cost of Chinese goods will fall to a minimum.
