China attempts to assert claims over Taiwan and SCS territories belonging to Vietnam, Philippines, Japan and Malaysia and you accuse the US of neo-colonialism, LOL? Not to mention their oil for loans scam.
Like exactly what it says. A consensus of democratic states, with leaders that actually have a mandate to lead and vote of their country's behalf. I would include US, UK, EU states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, South Korea and others in that list.
China is doing exactly that with Taiwan actually. They've even threatened to invade them if they declare independence.
And after each of those elections were held and sovereign leaders were elected by the people of that country.
That's the same way every country reaches democracy. Back in the day it was pitch forks vs swords, but now it's pitch forks vs tanks and attack helicopters, so they need a little help.
We're happy to sanction countries who support terrorism and run dictatorships but thanks for your opinion.
Now, is that true? What're the sanctions you've imposed on China or Saudi Arabia? Considering Boris "The Rube" - Hustling Johnson would need China more than ever after Brekshit. In fact he hasn't even whimpered on the protest in HK. Thanks for the laughs.
In a way they are. China does not run a free market system, and it is therefore an anomaly within the WTO.
As long as they don't expect their ships to get from a to b in the case of Iran.
I again ask you what were the steps Britain undertook to censure China and KSA? A big LoL once more at your suggestion that Trump undertook the sanctions against China as a way of censuring them for their political system. Another example why we've never had not will have the Irish as geostrategic experts. Who will tend to the potato farms and cattle then, Paddy?
The next ship won't make it and Iran's word on ship destinations is worth nothing now.
Why, the Irish?!? Who else are fit to do a menials work, Paddy? They have the energy, the stamina , the physique and more importantly the mental make up for a menials work. You still didn't answer why exactly has Her Majesty's government headed as of now by a hustler refused to sanction China for its handling of the HK protest or sanction KSA for running an authoritarian regime. Still waiting for an answer on why's it the world is bereft of Irish geostrategic experts or Irish economists. There must be some exceptions that prove the rule.
It was a fine idea, but the problem lies with giving a vote to dictators. If it was a world of democracies, then the functionality of the UN would likely be fine.
