propaganda. Of course China is not our friend, so why would they join the sanctions?

Sanctions, to me, are usually B.S. For one, many businesses will get waivers, and two, it's really none of the government's business if I want to buy a rug from Iran, or whatever.

Furthermore, Russia has Africa, the Middle East, South America, China...they hardly need Europe and the U.S.

Two against one. This is totally illegal.
