These are all very recent developments. The last few years has been very different than decades before. Hopefully we can restore some normalcy after this turbulent period...
Right. My problem is that the U.S. already is bullying too much and nobody pushes back against them, if it takes China to do it, so be it. I wish the EU to grow a backbone, but it is unlikely to happen.
I mean you have the U.S. sanctioning MEDICINE to Iran in the middle of a global pandemic and threatening Europe with secondary sanctions if we help out.
You have the U.S. sanctioning ICC officials for wanting to investigate U.S. war crimes. You have the U.S. arguing in the open[1] that it is free to kill its own citizens without due process.
I'd like someone to push against that, may as well be China if the EU is not up to the task, as it has repeatedly shown.
