Remembering this whenever China poses as neutral.
Moscow can’t be faulted for their decision to stampede over the border, kidnap children, deny Ukraine’s right to exist, and commit to deliberate terror bombing month after month? The terrorism isn’t coming from rogue officers, it’s coming from the chain of command clearly.
By that logic I guess we can’t fault the kid in the kindergarten who was throwing chairs repeatedly because going to the principal’s office is fun.
Imagine asking the culprit to condemn its actions and expecting not to look like a clown.
Also, genuine question, what are the conditions of being a member of the G20? All Ruzzia does is selling dinosaur juice to the world. Its currency can’t even handle a war of choice and their moon expedition flex turned into an embarrassingly loud wet fart. Economically and technologically Ruzzia is a fucking joke.
“The option that we had is text or no text. And I think the right answer is text,” said a senior western official present at the summit, who said compromise was necessary to maintain consensus.^1
>G20 leaders have failed to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a joint statement after China and Russia rejected language that blamed Moscow for the conflict, highlighting the lack of global consensus in support of Kyiv.
>The New Delhi summit declaration refers only to the “war in Ukraine”, a formulation that supporters of Kyiv such as the US and Nato allies have previously rejected as it implies both sides are equally complicit.
>[…] The previous G20 declaration, made in Indonesia last November, referred to “aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine”. Western diplomats said China’s refusal to repeat that formulation was critical in pushing host India to propose compromise language.
The 2023 declaration also dropped a statement seen in the 2022 version, that noted “most members strongly condemned the war”.

Ok so if it’s not russias fault, what are they asking the aggressor to do to end the war? Not join NATO? No. Leave donbas alone? No they already annexed twice that territory. So the complete submission of Ukraine and the “filtration” of all those nationalist? So GENOCIDE then. Doesn’t even matter who’s fault (for arguments sake) if they want that, they are evil and the world must stop them.
We don’t deserve the freedom the Ukrainians are fighting for us, if we aren’t even willing to fight with words, while the Ukrainians are fighting with their lives.
G18 it is then
If genocide is not reason enough to condemn russia, tell me what the fuck qualifies…
China is fucked in the head, how is Russia even in the g20? Its economy isn’t much bigger than us here in Australia
