Him doing that is what made Jack Ryan president, so really it's his fault.

Russia is probably in a better spot economically than it was immediately following the collapse of the soviet union but at the same time a lot of their economy hinges on energy exports which might be imperiled if western governments start moving away from gaahahahaha they wont be moving away from gas and other non renewable sources.

might as well be the same thing. both the UK and USA have the same goal of antagonising/destabilising China since they both seem deadset on making an enemy out of the soon to be dominant global military/economic power

"U.S. military commanders in the Pacific have built a software tool to predict how the Chinese government will react to U.S. actions in the region like military sales, U.S.-backed military activity and even congressional visits to hotspots like Taiwan."

quote:

“We don’t see a threat against NATO allies, we see a threat against Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said. “Ukraine is a highly valued partner, but not a NATO member ... covered by the NATO collective security.”

“When it comes to Ukraine, a partner, we can add support. And I think what we need to do now is provide political support but also practical support.”

This, Stoltenberg said, includes NATO allies providing training, capacity building, joint exercises and various equipment to strengthen Ukraine’s armed forces. “Ukraine has the right to self-defense, and NATO allies are helping them to strengthen that self-defense to help to prevent a Russian military attack on Ukraine.“

Stoltenberg also stressed the need for dialogue with Russia to reduce tensions, something Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for as well.

Whenever either the US or the UK are coping hard with their lovely half-assed attempts at handling covid, lab leak will resurface just to give people a momentary distraction. Treating it like it was made in a lab makes it seem more like it was something someone did to us rather than something we did to ourselves by letting nature run rampant over our bodies.
