Of course, China will speak out against sanctions as it is also a victim of many sanctions.

But what Putin really needs from China is an outright declaration of support.
Unfortunately for Putin, China has always been opposed to invading sovereign countries under any pretence.
It cannot back the invasion without destroying its long held anti-invasion stand.

The Chinese economy is closely tied to the American and western economies than to Russia so there's little Chinese interest in jumping into the same basket with Russia.

Chinese banks are already enforcing the global sanctions and these are not ordinary Chinese banks, they are state and government-owned banks so it's the Chinese government directly enforcing the sanctions against China.

Russia can no longer make critical electronic products including military products successfully because of global sanctions, they can not import raw materials, they can not transfer technology, not even from 3rd parties.

People don't want guilty by association or collateral damages.

Russia is in for a lot of bruising and as we speak, Russians are currently demonstrating against the war and by the time the sanctions start biting and crippling the Russian middle class, it could topple Putin and the Russian government.

Let's say Russia end up seizing the whole of Ukraine, then what? Do they have the money, strength and supplies to militarily and politically maintain an occupation or fight sustained Ukrainian insurgency heavily funded and supported by the rest of the world?

Russia once put their own puppet in charge in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people rebelled and got rid of him so what's the point for Russia?

Putin is really acting very dumb, stupid and mentally irrational.

I have never heard China, Russia etc colonize any African country, I have never heard China Russia tell anybody you must organize your country our way or else we impose sanctions, I have nevere heard Russia ior China say you must have same sex marraige or allow transgender nonsense etc or else we impose sanctions. I have never heard Russia or China create a world order and them tell everybody else you must conform or else!!! None of them are our friends but the Russians and chinese dont pretend to be our friends while trying to colonise us mentally! Whether you like it or not one of the reasons Nigeria doesnt work is because we have adopted a western style democracy that doesnt work for us!!!!

1.Russia has colonised several countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuainia, Poland, Finland, Kazhakstan, etc) invaded others (Afghansitan, etc) and manipulated governments elsewhere.

2.China has invaded other countries (Tibet) and is aggressively trying to dominate other South east asian countries. Also, economically dominating African countries (am sure people like you complain about Buhari taking chinese loans).

3.Western style democracy is rubbish, but the alternatives (dictatorship) are even worse.

4.USA still trades with us, despite our homophobia, as it does with most African countries. Trade must be done, even with cannibals (Lord Acton).

5.Africa is in a mess because we don't make gunpowder. (Only the wise get it)

.should Russia allow NATO to build a base in Ukraine?

But how come the enemity between Russia and the West never affected their bilateral trade and sharing of scientific research knowledge?

Why is the west automatically a threat to Russia but business allies at the same time?

I'm just not getting it. If Russia knows that he detests the west so much, he should have stopped selling bent crude to them...I'm just not getting it.

Has Ukraine joined nato? Germany has vetoed admission of Ukraine into NATO. The truth is that russia doesn't want a flourishing democratic and liberal nation in her border. Ukraine with more than 40m people would definely influence Russia.

It's a pity that the people of Ukraine will be sacrificed for a new world order. As I said in my previous post few days ago, Putin would rather seen an end to the world than end like Hitler, and just today, he put nuclear weapons on alert over sanctions.

Putin ain't playing by any rules.

Ukrainian President thinks it sounds good to "die a hero" But I will tell you guys for free "there is nothing heroic about death". If you have watched someone die, it's painful and inglorious.

Recognizing than someone is stronger than you is not a sign of weakness but strength. The president of Ukraine is being used as a pawn, in a game that is bigger him. He is sacrificing his people for stupid pride. It's a natural the weak, will be a subject to the strong. Talk to Putin, negotiate. mind you that, Russia hasn't even started war, they are more less playing the deplomatic game of threatening you to come for negotiation, if they decide to end Ukraine in 24 hours it will be done.

You can still quote me and talk rubbish, but sentiment don't win wars. I am being practical here. In international politics, once deplomacy fails, people get hurt.

His country does not want to join the Soviet Union. What is so hard to understand about that.

That was what Putin asked them for. That they maintain neutrality just like Finland. Finland has never been under any threat from Russia and they have been living peacefully as neighbors cos they maintain the principle of neutrality. They are not in NATO.

Putin also wants them to put in place governments that answer to him, same as the US wants governments that are favourable to them. Either way, Ukraine wants its own freedom( and for its legit government, staying under NATO is the answer. For me it is crap, but there we have it). Invasion is not the answer.

At the end, for me, it is two power blocs fighting each other for power using NATO and Russia as their proxies. That is the way of the world.

China must understand that there is no further basis now for acceding to Russia's security demands, upon their invasion of Ukraine.
Besides, Kremlin has shown with its intent of taking Kiev that it has far more objectives than just halting NATO's Eastward expansion.

What security guarantee will Ukraine get by staying neutral? The answer is obvious for everyone to see now.

Putin got this all wrong.

Let's take a back seat for a second.

Like do this people what it will mean for NATO to be like we can't accept Ukraine because Russia said so?

an outsider dictating for a bloc?

imagine you going to the Army to tell them not to accept your brother's application. Who give you such loud?

That's not what it implies. Before you take decisions on a global level, you need to understand the history of the countries involved, understand how NATO came into existence and how it affects Russia as a country. Russia is a world power just like America. You can't undermine her national security in any way. Ukraine should have maintained the principle of neutrality like Finland. If that had been done, we would not be having this discussion.

But a pro Russian government was elected and ruling till 2014 when it was violently overthrown.
How do you allow you enemies to encamp at his door step

so Ukrainians cannot decide for themselves again?

when Warsaw pact broke beginning the end of the Soviet Union by people revolution, was it the west that started that one too?

When thousands died just to cross from East Germany to West Germany. Was it the west that was bribing them to undertake such risk?

Belarus, Russia ally is having a referendum to decide whether to Join the EU or not, is it the West that's calling the shot there too?

You guys always talk as if Ukrainians are zombies or robots that don't have a mind of their own and can't decide shit

Good, so you are just supporting one big power over the other. Russia is just like the US and like repellent like.

As for me, non-alignment is the way. US and Russia can go and sleep for all I care.

Countries that need to change need change from within..not an invader setting up shop in them. Which incidentally, is how the US and Russia grew up in the first place from backwater nations to the powers they are. Changed themselves.

Other nations don't get it. Ukraine in partucular.

Perfectly said !
They Ukraine have every right as a sovereign state to ally to whomever they want. You ( Russia) have proven to be a bully and reason why they don’t want you as ally. Democracy May be flawed by why would you choose Dictatorship as an alternative ( China + Russia) .
The fact that you have serious security concerns does not give you the right to invade and occupy a country.
I Dare you Putin to Attack a NATO allied country and you’ll get the war you have been itching for.
