China and Russia are not playing ball.
Russia is pissing them off because they are nationalists.
What do you think Ukraine war is about?
Have you heard about the B.R.I.C.S. ?
Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa are NOT playing along.
All of those countries are building cold power plants while we are shutting ours down here and Western Europe.
None of the BRICS nations are allowing the “green” deal to impact their countries.
They are not controlled by Western Europe or North America. This is because they are nationalists. Meaning Russia loves Russia first, China loves China first, India loves India first. They are not internationalists in charge that have sold out their country like here and Western Europe.
Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Mexico and soon to be Turkey are all joining the BRICS.
All these countries will not be trading in U.S. dollars for oil anymore. What do you think that will do to the USD? This all got accelerated over Ukraine and when Biden cut off Russia from the SWIFT banking system with a major power that has a ton of oil. Biden broke our agreement, and it’s why the BRICS is now forming.
For the record, China is backing Russia in Ukraine.
Then there are national conservatives who are OK with other nations basing their policies on their own heritage, culture, and people.
This has all gotten mixed up because as late as the Reagan and first Bush administrations we were all "internationalist conservatives" in that we were fighting the international plague of communism.
Now the international plague is global neoliberalism. This is something that both the libertarians and neocons are OK with. This is something that traditional conservatives need to oppose at every opportunity.
