American terrorists can support and supply weapons to Ukraine, others cannot support and supply weapons to Russia!

 A month before the Russian Ukraine War broke out in February 2022, Russia bought lots of weapons like helicopters and drones from China in bilateral trade. The USA is now making an issue of this, accusing China of helping Russia in the Ukraine War, by supplying weapons to Russia. Why should China suddenly stop its weapons sales to Russia after the war started? China and Russia had a good business relationship and will not stop its weapons sales to Russia that is bound to sour relations. This is just plain logic, and afterall Russia needs weapons in the Ukraine War.

The narrative now being touted is that China is not neutral and is taking sides. What is wrong with that? If China condemns Russia or breaks off good relations with Russia, it clearly means China is openly supporting the USA and its allies against Russia. This means China's stand is not neutral either and taking sides as well. So, what does taking sides mean to the USA? Perhaps under their 'Rules Based Order' it means that China supporting the USA by sanctioning Russia is not taking sides, but China supporting Russia is construed as not a neutral stand but is taking sides. What kind of warp logic is that?

China is now basically supporting Russia not covertly, but is an open secret now, since whatever China does is construed as against the USA and its allies. The USA can continue to generate all the witch hunting propaganda, but will ultimately fall on deaf ears on the Chinese side. This is perfectly logical, since the USA just conveniently takes the Chinese point of view as merely noises to brush aside. The USA can threaten all kinds of consequences, as if China, in its present position, has no retaliatory means to do a tit for tat.

Consequential threats have lost much of its relevance, just like the sanctions imposed on countries such as Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran and Russia. Joe Biden threatened Saudi Arabia with consequences after his abject failure, by flying personally to Saudi Arabia to coerce MBS to extract more oil. Instead MBS reduced oil production and what consequences did he faced? When faced with a formidable adversary, the USA behaves like a paper tiger. Now dangling concessions hoping to sway MBS decision to join BRICS, trade with China in Yuan and not to use Chinese communication system in the country.

Similarly, the USA is threatening Niger military regime of consequences, with ECOWAS threatening invasion, that never came after the expiry of its ultimatum. On the contrary, support for the military regime in Niger comes strongly from neighours and overwhelming support also came from volunteers all over the world. The USA and France are basically propping up support for their ousted stooge President, their puppet on a string.
