Li noted the incursion and criticized Western support for Ukraine. “All sides are worried that the West continues to relax conditions for Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with aided weapons,” Li said. “And recent developments on the battlefield confirmed these kind of worries.”

Meanwhile you’re supporting the fucking invaders you daft cunt.

Politicians are such utter scum.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, Li is right.

We should never support these kinds of countries, we should just let them be invaded.

Just like we should have let Germany do whatever they wanted to the Soviet Union by not supplying them with unlimited weapons, and we should have watched Imperial Japan have their fun with China.

How dare we interfere to escalate the situation!!!

There have not been any consequences for striking deep into Russia besides the usual volley of missiles that's shrugged off and a strongly worded letter that's just put on the "Putin's bluff" pile. Li needs to get better arguments to convince anyone.

The negotiations and dialogue should be "pack up your shit and go home russia".

[–] garpujol@discuss.online 9 points 2 months ago

It’s just a draft of the one they plan to use in a few years on Taiwan.

Why TF is China talking to Brazil, Indonesia, and SA about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine??

Have they, like, tried talking to Russia?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are trying to flex their BRICS muscles and make themselves look like the new NATO.

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except the I in BRICS is India not Indonesia.

...no expansion of the battlefield...

Funny how China emphasizes this after Russia started to lose land to Ukraine. It's not like they've been pushing this very hard with Russia for the last two years.

Li noted the incursion and criticized Western support for Ukraine. “All sides are worried that the West continues to relax conditions for Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with aided weapons,” Li said. “And recent developments on the battlefield confirmed these kind of worries"

Funny how Li have failed to conclude that China could have put an end to Russia raping and murdering civilian men, women and children 2 years ago by just not continue to supply Russia the parts needed to manufacture Russian weapons.

But they didn't.

China, you're drunk. Go home.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

China is worried that the shit weapons they have will be basically useless against Taiwan if they try to invade and we supply Taiwan with western weapons. They want to be able to take over Taiwan in a day or two, but that wouldn't be possible if we supplied them with Western arms.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

No, Xi is a brilliant mind at domestic party politics, but at geopolitics he's an imbecile.

He didn't understand that his navy was 10-15 years away from hoping to take Taiwan in 2022, and that was assuming the USN took a long vacation without checking their email.

His hope was that after Afghanistan, if Russia took Ukraine quickly the west would cower in fear and go full appeasement, basically giving Taiwan on a platter.

He might have been right if Big Daddy Z hadn't refused that ride.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this plan the 'let's let Russia have all the things it's stolen' plan?

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, with a side of 'Taiwan has always been part of China' as always.

These guys only have one song and play it on repeat.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This article is trash. It's just reporting what someone said with zero context around that statement.

What is China's and Brazil's peace plan? How is it different than the West's plan to do jack shit after Russia invaded Crimea? Let's start answering some basic questions before we run to press.

Xi, where is your concern for russia striking Ukrainian territory?

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

It's right next to his concern for China striking Taiwan and robbing Hong Kongers of all their rights.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah china, the ol ‘No limits to our friendship with Russia’ trying to act like a neutral party lol

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So... what's their peace plan?

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ukraine change their name to Kyiv Oblast.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

You're right, but even reading that boils my blood.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The only acceptable peace plan is ruzzia getting the fuck out of Ukraine (by that I mean Crimea too) and using their funds to completely rebuild Ukraine. I don't give a shit if their economy collapses or they starve to death because of it, they destroy it, they repair it.
