Only a matter of time til they exclude the US with moves like this.

    Well yes that’s the nature of the agreement, it’s our right, but it doesn’t mean we should, especially against the will of the rest of the G7.

    What’s even the ostensible excuse?

      Bad for business. Russia has a lot of resources and in my opinion, the sanctions aren’t warranted. They will be a great ally for the US against China.

      Edit: The Quuuuill made a good point in that saying “they did nothing wrong” is wrong itself because Russia does do a lot wrong.

          In relations to a Russia allying against China, I am merely referring to Aleksandr Dugin‘s work, “Foundations of Geopolitics” that people like to mention here.

          I suppose in reality, possibly not. I mean China and Russia are planning to start construction of a lunar base next year so relations can’t be that bad between the two.

            You are being downvoted, but you have a point. Not sure what the book said, but theoretically it would be advantageous to “gang up” on China and balance them out, instead of Russia increasingly becoming more dependent on China.

            Theoretically, there’s a ton of mutually beneficial economic aid. Even better if the three powers get along.

            That’s not the nature of authoritarian regimes though (and I am referring to all three countries now). There are just too many opportunities to take advantage of the other, even when it’s not rational, and there’s a long history from all three countries proving that.
