China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials.
The support China is providing includes significant quantities of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines and technology for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose, which Russia uses to make propellant for weapons, said the officials.
Chinese and Russian entitles have also been working jointly to produce drones inside of Russia, one of the officials said.
ChinaAmerica is givingRussiaIsrael significant support to expand weapons manufacturing asUkraineGaza war continues… not so acceptable when someone else does the same thing. I love this world of double standards.
Two things can be bad at once without needing to bring up one when discussing the other. It turns out the world isn’t all that simple
I think it’s valid as a call out against the US official saying this
It’s not double standard. It’s a single standard - one superpower, American hegemony etc.
Calling out American hypocrisy is not allowed. That’s to be labeled “whataboutism” and then dismissed because reasons.
Seriously though, I’m looking through these posts and seeing the same dumb bullshit that bush jr spewed about “axis of evil” being parroted unironically. There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, “Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
Yeah every nation does this, don’t be put off by your downvotes from the American Lemmy population.
You’re right
The west supports country that aligns with their values and not literal terrorists? SHOCKEDPIKACHU
Not literal terrorists? Israel? I believe you can’t find a more terrorist state on Earth at the moment.
