| vivster said: Sounds pretty mild to me compared to the WW3 talking point floating around everywhere. And it extends the question to if Russia and China have done anything meaningful since the end of the Cold War. The US is constantly calling Russia the enemy and they're in an active trade war with China, so they're obviously not concerned with any major retaliation. Same with Iran. All I'm seeing is big words and chain rustling. I've heard so many big promises of retaliation that never came, I'm WW3 fatigued at this point. |
Blocking trade is not mild hence why they've never been able to fully sanction Iran and Russia has done something meaningful they annexed Crimea the only other point oil could pass through and not one military action was taken against them because everyone US included knew it's a fight they don't want while China have snapped up all the trade in Africa weakening US' trade position in the world as many countries are now opting to use trade with China to invest in themselves which is what triggered the trade war if you think it's only words you're not diving deep into politics the's more to this than conflict as retaliation.
