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 are 1.9 BILLION adherents to that religion. If the religion itself were the problem, the world would be awash in blood. It’s NOT.
Do you adhear to that same logic with gun owners?
Supporting any religion that murders lgbtq+ persons, forces marriage and rape to minors and kills no believers is not a problem to you?
And the entire middle east and a large portion of Africa are awash in blood because of this religion.
Also why are you removing links to actual facts now?
You all say you’re intolerant of the intolerant, but here you are defending a religion that is intolerant…
Your post was removed for continued Islamophobia and it doesn’t matter how many links you provide because the vast majority of the 1.9 BILLION Muslims in the world ARE NOT VIOLENT.
For guns, I absolutely do make the same argument. Take the AR-15 for example, notorious villain in anti-gun communities, ban worthy, etc. etc.

“The AR-15 is the Weapon of Choice for Mass Shooters.”
Best estimate is there are over 20 million of them in the United States. I saw another estimate putting it around 44 million.
Problem: The vast majority of mass shootings do not involve an AR-15. Pistols are far easier to obtain and conceal.

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.
