    If US and NATO are supporting Ukraine I didn’t see what’s the problem if China and North Korea support Russia…

      You don’t see the difference in supporting a country defending itself from being invaded versus aiding a country that is invading?

      I don’t think anyone is saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do it; just that they think it’s going to go poorly

      Also I would add that it’s a moderately dire sign as far as the state of Russia’s manpower levels. Every country at war desperately wants more soldiers at all times but some desperates are more desperate than other desperates.

      Financial support and sending foreign soldiers directly to the frontline are two very different kinds of involvement. Imagine the Russian freakout if NATO actually sent soldiers to fight in Ukraine. Maybe the North Koreans will actually speed that process up.

      If China directly supports Russia NATO will throw sanctions on them and that will hurt China. China is supporting Russia, but they are walking a find line as China cannot afford to make NATO mad. (NATO also will hurt, which is why NATO is looking the other way, but how long will NATO put up with China is an open question)

        All the west should sanction China. But we need to have toilet paper production back onshore first.

      Of course you don’t see the problem. You can’t seem to see the problem with a lot of issues. Your average post score is -20. Maybe you should do some self reflection, or maybe you’re just a naive 20-something and will grow out of it
