They might be a clown country, but did they deserve to be sanctioned by China in this matter?
I mean, sanctioning the US is usually the answer to most of the world’s problems. But each case should be evaluated individually.

I’ve never heard of Pokémon Leggenos.
Yes, they can. But they would go against UN decisions, if they do that. And yes, while I know that they’re sovereign countries and the UN can’t stop them, international diplomacy is complicated and fragile.
Not only that, but these sanctions need international coordination to be effective. If it’s just a couple countries not dealing with them, nothing will happen. They’ll just do business with someone else.
I just hope we can drop the UN altogether and create something else in its place. Something more democratic, where votes count. Having the most sanguinary war machine of a country having the right to veto peace talks is completely insane.
I don’t care about bloating. But it would be sending even more of my data to their servers, using AI as an excuse.
That was a miswording on my part. I meant it would decide that. Which means they would at least impose sanctions against Israel (like they should’ve done years ago) if they didn’t stop.
If Israel would actually stop, nobody knows. But countries would do something to discourage them.
I think that a voting system is good. The problem is the veto power.
The results of voting would decide to stop Israel from attacking Palestine, if it wasn’t for the US’ veto. Voting would also lift the stupid embargo against Cuba, if it wasn’t for the US veto. Etc.
That kind of power over the UN shouldn’t exist.
That’s why some countries are talking about creating an alternative UN. That schism can’t be good.
North and South Korea aren’t rivals. North Korea has been trying to free South Korea for decades.
Lots of Koreans don’t even consider them different countries.
But one day the US military will leave South Korea and leave these people alone.
Reason number one: it’s a publicly traded American company.
I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.
It’s a made-up story.
Here in Brazil it’s much simpler because when you rent a place, basic services like electricity and water are transferred to you. So you get the bills, not your landlord.
And services like internet, you hire your own instead of using the ISP hired by your landlord.
