Beijing is “picking a side” and can’t claim to be neutral any more, the US ambassador to NATO tells POLITICO.

China is helping Russia meet its war goals in Ukraine by continuing to sell supplies such as drone technology and gunpowder ingredients to Moscow, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO said in an interview.

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] cannot claim to be entirely neutral in this case, [and] they are in fact picking a side,” Julianne Smith told POLITICO on Tuesday. “I think when the PRC tries to portray itself as neutral, when it comes to this war, we don’t buy it.”

Smith said the United States was “increasingly seeing materiel support” from China to Russia, adding that this equipment — which can have both civilian and military uses — had played a critical role in helping Moscow achieve some of its aims against Ukraine.

      Yeah, Palestine is being slowly genocided for a few decades now, Israel should’ve been sanctioned many moons ago.

        That’s why they have almost five times the population now compared to 1960. Contrast this to to Israel, which has only four times the population it had back then.

        Notice how population growth is accelerating. How does that make any sense?

      Agreeing wholeheartedly with this.

      But it might not be the same initially it is now turning into the same.
