China is off doing naval drills with Russia in South Africa right now. They're actively working against Europe in Ukraine. Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.
So are western countries as well and don't see you crying about it?
Insisting sanctions to be decided in the UN and not unilaterally by the west when it's NATO expansion that triggered the war is not working against Europe. Providing a framework for peace and trying to facilitate peace talks is not working against Europe. Being the largest trading partner of Ukraine is not working against Europe.
Europe and the US are right?
I was talking with a Russian expat about"nato threat to Russia", and he just replied laughting "what threat?"
Thank you for your anecdote. Looking at the impotence of NATO in Ukraine I can get the sentiment.
I had one as well that showed me how calculative the Americans are: https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-biden-1997-nato-expansion-baltics/5009529
You may want to consider whether the views of expats align with those staying in their home countries.
