The head of Nato has told the BBC that China should face consequences for supporting Russia's war in Ukraine, if it does not change its ways.

Jens Stoltenberg said Beijing was "trying to get it both ways" by supporting Russia's war effort, while also trying to maintain relationships with European allies.

"This cannot work in the long run," Mr Stoltenberg told BBC News during a visit to Washington.

USA/NATO threatening and provoking Russia has brought the world to the brink of WW3
and now
threatening Communist China, too?

What good does such irresponsible loose talk do, even if we plan to attack Beijing?

Finally! Well FWIW China has been ignored so far for its meddling in US affairs. Never mind their general cheating on trade and stealing US naval technology.

Our greatest weapon against China is the almighty dollar. I would love to see the raising of tariffs against China as a pay back for aiding Russia.

Well yes, China has been coddled by both parties. GWB did nothing to retaliate against China for stealing naval technology. Some congressional Republicans have financial interest is screwing over the population over China. Problem the Russians have is they don’t have the money to spread around like the Chinese.

Chicoms hate NATO because they’re scared of it.

I’m not sure what Nato has to do with calling for economic sanctions.

Our governments should all stop supporting the chicoms by doing business with them.

A relic of Clinton and Bush.

Clinton loved China, that is Chicom graft.

Globalists love the cheap labor.

North Korea sabre rattles when it wants more money. Apparently, NATO does, too.
