Sweden became NATO’s newest member on Thursday (7 March 2024), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the Government of the United States in Washington DC. With Sweden’s accession, NATO now counts 32 countries among its members.
Funny how Sweden hasn’t either.
Can you explain why Russia and China haven’t sanctioned the US if they are so opposed to what the US is doing?
Russia and China aren’t doing sanctions like the US is because those sanctions are illegal.
Ah yes, Russia and China, so well known for following international law to the letter.
More so than NATO.
Maybe they should stop being such goody-two-shoes then if they want to have an influence in the world.
"China and Russia are bad because they don’t follow international law!’
“Yes they do”
“… Well they shouldn’t!”
Also lol at trying to claim China doesn’t have influence on the world.
What I’m saying is, if China and Russia truly cared about what the US is doing, they could choose to sanction the US and the West just like the West is doing to Russia right now. Like you say, China throwing their weight in would certainly have an influence.
My mistake, I assumed your interjection was related to the topic being discussed, and not just a completely unrelated butt in.
They follow it a helluva lot more than the US does, which fabricated a whole “rules-based international order,” which is nothing but We make up the rules, and order everyone around. Mafia rule.
Can you explain why Sweden hasn’t gone to war with (we weren’t talking about sanctions) the USA if they’re so opposed to appeasement?
Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren’t against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.
Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?
So appeasement does sometimes work then.
It’s not appeasement if the party being “appeased” is not opposed to you to begin with.
That’s not what they say about WW2
Now you lost me, surely Hitler was being appeased by the Allies allowing him to do things they would’ve preferred him not to do?
Sweden wouldn’t prefer the USA not repeatedly destroy other countries and commit genocide?
