This has been a fascinating exchange, but not quite the look into your mind I had hoped for.
What an odd statement to make. I guess it bothers you to be confronted by your own shortcomings.
Now, tell me, do you think the reasons for China enacting sanctions are reasonable ones?
Yes of course they are reasonable. Every country enacts sanctions in order to further their own aims and to gain an advantage in geopolitics and economics. They did it for the same reason we sanction countries. To get what we want, to win, to make money.
Of course some countries like the USA also impose sanctions because they are sadistic and enjoy watching their enemies suffer. For example the sanctions in Iraq were the cause of 250,000 deaths of civilians and the then secretary of state said that it was perfectly just and moral.
Sanctions in response to an investigation into the origins and spread of Covid are, in your mind, no less valid than, for example, sanctioning Russia over their invasion of Ukraine?
Yes the reason is the same. Hurt your enemies, benefit yourself. That’s geopolitics. That’s the same reason we sanction other countries. We want to hurt them and we want to benefit ourselves.
BTW the sanctions on Iraq were because some Saudis flew into a building in NY.
A lot.
I suppose you think we should stop trading with all of them.
