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.

    So what you’re telling me is that the religion of islam is a peaceful one? That doesn’t kill LGBTQ+ people, that allows them to exist, that doesn’t stone women or have honor killings or is fine with womens rights?

    All of these things you’re under the impression that Islam tolerates?

    Everything that i have posted has been against the religion, that’s not islamophobia. I say the same shit about christians and they’re diddling of kids, but I’m betting I wouldn’t be called out for being christianphobia if I did though.

    Also i forgot you’re actually one of the sane gun owners around here… I will say others who are posting here are %100 not in agreement with you on this though. All gun owners to them are baby killers.

      I’m saying the vast, vast majority of the 1.9 billion people who identify as Muslim are, in fact, peaceful people. If they weren’t, the problems with religious violence would be a million times worse.
