China is one of the few nations that has not condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine, and trade between Beijing and Moscow soared to record levels in 2022.

I'm gonna guess most of these foreign governments primarily see the American government as a joke. An incredibly well armed joke, but a joke just the same. That needs to be treated like a mentally unstable child who found their dads gun.

Russia is NOT going to loose Ukraine.
Speaking of which, it really seems like Ukraine is content in just slugging it out with artillery along a line of control, it's weird.

Sounds like the Pentagon knows they are struggling in Ukraine and are trying to avoid more competition building up against them.
As for China, everything they do or don't do is going to have consequences. Some more significant than others.
Having some pipeline getting blown up is one to watch out for.
With just how much control China has over Joe Biden, having some in the Military trying to sort this mess out is not a bad thing. With all the recent media hype on the China balloon, it is like hate week has found a new target to focus on.
Kim. "Kim Jung [sic] Un of North Korea, who I got to know and got along with very well during my years as President, is not happy with the U.S. and South Korea doing big training and air exercises together," Trump wrote.

What a joke. If the US were to take behavior against China, it would be the US population that would suffer.

China and Russia fear American might but behind our backs we are the laughing stock of the globe. We are a failing empire. They know it our government knows it. The only poor SOB's that are unaware are average citizens living day to day in all the countries involved. America, China, Russia, and Ukraine.

It's lose. Loose is like when you have a wet bowel movement, loose stool.

Bringing jobs back home can be done in a non threatening way. Like say for example, lowering the corporate tax rate, which President Trump was for.
