IDK anymore if there is anything that would actualy pull NATO into this war besides a direct attack, not when Israel is still a major issue after 1 year and they still are keen on baiting China.
Maybe there needs to be a serious bluff calling here. Is the US actualy willing to start a WW3 in Ukraine and potentialy abandon Israel? I’m like 60, maybe even 70/30 on Russia should retaliate if we get to a situation where Ukraine succesffuly hits an important target and that itself is a long shot atm.
I agree but when it was suggested that China should have done this back earlier this year against Israel quite some people thought this unwarranted though.
I used to say these types of economic sanctions were the very bare minimum China could have done to intervene on the genocide against Israel, raise the stakes for the US at barely no risk for China themselves, but instead we have nothing at all at except speeches that say US bad on one hand while countless US officials traveled to Beijing on the other hand.
Its cool to have a weapon you’re never willing to use or one which people will bend backwards to justify not using.
China currently worships “non-interventionism” for many reasons, a nuclear threat is the exact opposite of that so I don’t think its smart to read this test as a message either.
