Does make you laugh, American logic & Blinken’s diplomatic ability & we’ve seen in Israel how well that works.How can Blinken reprimand China for helping Russia in the Ukraine,when the US have recently announced that they will be supplying more weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia?

I see your confusion but it's very simple playground stuff. America are the 'goodies' and can do and say what they want, Russia, China etc are the 'baddies' and must be destroyed, not completely though, America still needs an enemy, so its weapons industry props the country up, which is why they are not trying to end the current war.How can Blinken reprimand China for helping Russia in the Ukraine,when the US have recently announced that they will be supplying more weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia?

Ah I see so when America made up weapons of mass destruction and attacked Iraq for no good reason other than they didn't like the guy in charge, the world should have been on Iraq's side and fought back.Ukraine are defending themselves
Russia made unprovoked attack, breaking internatinal law.
You make no sense, if an attack against Iraq on a false premise was wrong, it can't be argued that one against Ukraine isn't, nor that assisting the 'aggressor' is right....

So why didn't we?
If American self defence was a good enough excuse for America to invade Iraq & Afganistan plus a few others you can hardly blame Russia for thinking that it's the way the modern world works.You make no sense, if an attack against Iraq on a false premise was wrong, it can't be argued that one against Ukraine isn't, nor that assisting the 'aggressor' is right.
"right" and "wrong" ???You make no sense, if an attack against Iraq on a false premise was wrong, it can't be argued that one against Ukraine isn't, nor that assisting the 'aggressor' is right.
And you write and presumably think some right tosh Brian. Have you bought a dacha in Sochi to go alongside your Swiss retreat. Hey ho.If American self defence was a good enough excuse for America to invade Iraq & Afganistan plus a few others you can hardly blame Russia for thinking that it's the way the modern world works.
As I keep saying America sets an example for others to follow.
Perhaps you would like to explain how American invasions in Iraq & Afghanistan was any more justified for American self defence than Russia considering American military arms in Ukraine any less intimidating in Russian eyes. America put troops on the Iraqi border to pressure Hussain to back down, when he didn’t they invaded, sound familiar?And you write and presumably think some right tosh Brian.

Because Ukrainians are being indiscriminately killed, and their homes and infrastructure are being destroyed.How can Blinken reprimand China for helping Russia in the Ukraine,when the US have recently announced that they will be supplying more weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia?

Presumably you think that the Taliban, Baathists, A-Qaeda, ISIS etc, are just jolly good chaps that are just a bit misunderstood.Perhaps you would like to explain how American invasions in Iraq & Afghanistan was any more justified for American self defence than Russia considering American military arms in Ukraine any less intimidating in Russian eyes.

Didn't America arm the Taliban when they were fighting the Russians, they obviously thought they were jolly good fellows & a bit misunderstood, same applies to the others when it suited America!!Presumably you think that the Taliban, Baathists, A-Qaeda, ISIS etc, are just jolly good chaps that are just a bit misunderstood.
they also left the countries you mention and didnt move the bordersPerhaps you would like to explain how American invasions in Iraq & Afghanistan was any more justified for American self defence than Russia considering American military arms in Ukraine any less intimidating in Russian eyes.

Russia war of aggression is contrary to the UN Charter and any UN member shouldn't assist them.How can Blinken reprimand China for helping Russia in the Ukraine,when the US have recently announced that they will be supplying more weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia?

No, the US supplied weapons and equipment to the Mujahedeen.Didn't America arm the Taliban when they were fighting the Russians, they obviously thought they were jolly good fellows & a bit misunderstood, same applies to the others when it suited America!!
Different times perhaps.No, the US supplied weapons and equipment to the Mujahedeen.
There was made up evidence, re iraq..Russia war of aggression is contrary to the UN Charter and any UN member shouldn't assist them.
I see Iraq was mentioned - it's a fair point although at the time there was (sort of) a legal justification via UN resolutions.
Perhaps you should read this & understand American foreign policy better.No, the US supplied weapons and equipment to the Mujahedeen.
No it was never a self defence justification, it was authority from the security council to take measures if Iraq didn't comply. It was dodgy then and dodgy now but also, not outright illegal and contrary to the UN Charter like Russia's invasion clearly is.There was made up evidence, re iraq..
Clear there was no self defense justification in reality, clear at the time, clear afterwards.
What makes laugh is these people who say tony blair fooled me with his dodgy dossier!
