Beijing is “picking a side” and can’t claim to be neutral any more, the US ambassador to NATO tells POLITICO.

China is helping Russia meet its war goals in Ukraine by continuing to sell supplies such as drone technology and gunpowder ingredients to Moscow, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO said in an interview.

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] cannot claim to be entirely neutral in this case, [and] they are in fact picking a side,” Julianne Smith told POLITICO on Tuesday. “I think when the PRC tries to portray itself as neutral, when it comes to this war, we don’t buy it.”

Smith said the United States was “increasingly seeing materiel support” from China to Russia, adding that this equipment — which can have both civilian and military uses — had played a critical role in helping Moscow achieve some of its aims against Ukraine.

    There is no such thing as a “religion of peace”. There are buddhist violent extremists. There were even anabaptist violent extremists.

    There are people who use religion to bring peace and healing, and there are people who use religion to bring discord and hatred. You are doing the latter.

      Sorry but there isn’t another religion in today’s world that creates as much suffering and death as Islam. I don’t know why so many westerners think it isn’t. Go speak to to Iranians or any other group that is oppressed by Islam. Every religion has had it’s dark times and every religion still has its extremist, but no religion today can even compare to Islams violence.
