even India and China is getting behind sanctions.

Today this article popped up about sanctioning china because they are supplying russian arms manufacturers with resources: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/26/antony-blinken-beijing-visiit-china-us-relations-foreign-minister-wang-yi

A quick google search pulls up dozens of articles about how China is helping the Russian war effort…

India however doesn’t supply arms, but instead buys them from Russia. Instead India is buying Russia’s oil, funding their war effort in another way. India is buying 13x the amount of oil they would normally buy from Russia pre-war. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/19/europe/russia-oil-india-shadow-fleet-cmd-intl/index.html

I don’t see China truly reducing their war supplies to China, nor do I see India calling off their oil deal. Unless Russia is actually cut off they’re just going to keep getting supplies.

That isn’t how it works though. Nobody is collecting billions in wages. They receive stock which isn’t counted as taxable income until sold.

they’re basically embargo’d by most of the world

A big portion of the world isn’t aligned with the US and has no embargo on Russia. Like we’re talking almost everything except US / Western Europe / Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_sanctions_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#/media/File:Russian-list-of-unfriendly-countries.svg

Just insane that a country can kill hundreds of thousands of it’s neighbors and take their land while being protected by a country decrying the same action by another country.

This isn’t going to solve any problems for the Israelis. They’ll just be a bigger target for the middle east. What happens when the Palestinian kids clinging to life grow up in neighboring countries? Do they think they won’t find more rockets and conduct more attacks? What will Israel do when the attacks come from Jordan or Egypt? invade those countries too?

THEY get something given to them!??!? NO WAY, NOT UNLESS ITS FOR ME TOO

-Sincerely, dumb people who can’t put themselves in anyone elses shoes. The world revolves around their life experience and nothing else.

Does this mean Biden is positioning to enter the Ukraine war? Would probably help his numbers in the upcoming election against Trump.

Offensive wars certainly don’t go over well, now more than ever in the internet age. Israel had a point where what they were doing was understandable but they exceeded that point on day one.

I thought paying adults a hundred bucks a month was enough to live on so they didn’t have to send their kids off to work because “cost of living is lower” ?

This is the cost of wage slavery in poverty stricken nations. The wealthy elite take the wealth of these workers and steal it by paying them nothing and importing their finished goods into the US and other wealthier nations.

You can find out all kinds of information about this on youtube by looking at “Why so expensive?” videos from business insider. We pretend like we outlawed slavery but it’s still effectively alive and well.

You’re sorting by a limited time filter. There have been no posts in that sub for 3 days.

How important are tanks in modern warfare?

I’ve been under the impression that infantry, drones (both recon and attack), mortars, artillery and guided missiles are kind of the thing to focus on in modern war. I think of tanks as big expensive targets.
