Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned China in a newspaper interview on Monday against supporting Russia in its war on Ukraine and said doing so would bring on a world war.

"For us, it is important that China does not support the Russian Federation in this war," Zelenskyy told German daily Die Welt. "In fact, I would like it to be on our side. At the moment, however, I don't think it's possible."

“But I do see an opportunity for China to make a pragmatic assessment of what is happening here,” he added. “Because if China allies itself with Russia, there will be a world war, and I do think that China is aware of that.”

This will totally deter the Chinese now.

[OHPatriot]

SERIOUSLY, Zelenskyy warned China?????

What’s the little faggot going to do, twerk infront of CCP Congress?

Joey got his 10% that’s all that matters.

To exist, China needs customers.

The world is China’s customer and Russia is trivial by comparison

China will finesse Russia

[bantam]

How on the F will China not pick a side, if western countries are lining up behind Ukraine?
Communist buddies to the end I would say. Be prepared for them to help Russia, if they aren’t already.
Don’t worry, the Alzheimer’s in chief Pedo scumbag will lead us through!

[inchworm]

So if the world does not ally against Russia then it’s a world war?

[hcmama]

Well, that has always been one of the shibboleths idealists cling to in foreign policy. "Economic ties uber alles."

Time will tell.

If the powers in Washington think that they can survive a nuclear war brought on by their money-grubbing Forever War they are mistaken. Most American survivors of a nuclear holocaust will be very eager to impose justice any surviving politicians for getting us in this mess.

I imagine every sphincter in the State Department and Pentagon tightened hearing Zelensky spout this nonsense.

Zelensky will quickly find out 2 THINGS:
1. That boat has left the water, as the Neocons have already driven Russia and China into each other’s arms, given our ‘Weaken Russia’ policy and our Taiwan Policy.

2. Neither Russia nor China (nor the rest of the world for that matter) gives a damn regarding what Zelensky says, as they know he’s just a puppet.

Formal declarations of wars are way out of fashion.

WWIII has already started and the deep state / ruling classes of the USA is the instigator. Exterminating the American working and middle classes is among the war aims. But the goal is world domination, ergo provoke China.

Wouldn't care to live under the current Chinese regime, but at least that government isn't trying to exterminate their own.

[hcmama]

Good thing the Chinese can't subject the US to any economic blackmail in the form of holding trillions of dollars of US debt!

Whew. Glad we didn't make that mistake!

[bert]

Your fears so vociferously promoted are just plain foolish.

The Russians know that they will all be dead within minutes after they make a nuclear assault.

I am old enough to remember when the war in Iraq was sold as preventing Iranian influence in the region!

And we all know what a bulwark of countervailing influence Iraq now is to Iran.

Seems to be the plan.

Given that the EU and among the Europeans, Annalena Baerbock as one among many, have already asserted this, and given that Jens Stoltenberg has as well, and given that Biden and Blinken are deeply involved, it sure sounds likes its a world war alright. Localized in the moment to Ukraine....

In the moment....

You don’t understand what’s what. The debt in Chinese hands is paper, or rather electronic blips on an American ledger.

China is the one with the risk. All America has to do is quit paying interest on the debt. China can’t weaponize the debt. And by the way, They have been reducing what they have.

At present in China, American bonds are more valuable than any Chinese securities placed by the failing banks there.

"Your fears so vociferously promoted are just plain foolish.

Are you really trying to say that there will be a “winner” in a nuclear war between the two leading nuclear powers that each have thousands of of nuclear bombs to be delivered by thousands of missiles?

I am betting that you are some sort of “end times” nut that thinks he will survive and thrive in a nuclear wasteland.

An import tariff would be a good start.
