Have they blocked China, as well? You know, because of all the human rights violations and (war) crimes there?

America dropped more bombs, killing more civilians in other countries than the rest of the world combined in the last 50 years. Oh I forgot it's justified bc they're fighting terrorism, for freedom and/or the killed are brown people which doesn't count. Got it.

I despise communism as much as everyone, but at least China is (currently) not trying to violently expand its borders (a bit of posturing in the South China Sea is nothing compared to what is going on in Ukraine) and especially... it is not threatening to nuke everyone.

    I know right? All they've done is just put a huge amount of people in concentration camps and silenced dissidents, while consolidating power in a one party state ruled by a dictator.

    So it's perfectly fine to commit war crimes and wars of agression as long as you're trying to install a puppet and not to expand your borders? You should advice Putin as much.

      It literally is OK if you are not shedding blood, just doing undercover color revolutions etc. It is human nature do want to increase your power, removing this outlet is not realistic. Just don't use physical violence, instead use subversion, etc.

      Then it basically becomes one big game of chess or soccer, just between intelligence agencies. The trophy is power and influence. I am fine with this as long as no humans are physically harmed.

      Therefore the 2014 coup was OK, but the 2022 war is not.
