Of course China is stepping up support, who could have seen this coming? Continued slowness and weakness from the West has given China nothing to fear, the West should have went full force against Russia from day one in support of Ukraine to show their strength, to show unity, to show what happens to imperialist countries like Russia and China trying to invade another country but they instead opted to drag this shit out.

As for America, I would like to see European countries publicly come out in support of Ukraine and tell America to shut up in terms of Ukraine striking military targets with its own drones, I need to see someone leading Europe, like France, taking over from America, Europe is our land to defend, Ukraine losing wouldn't affect America anywhere near as much as it would affect Europe so America should keep its whining to itself.

The issue is when someone steps up to lead, like France, people like America and Germany moan at them.

If they did that it would also meant

99.99% less spending

99.99% more lives saved

The longer it drags out the worst everyone will be financially and standard of living.

And in terms to your oil prices, America could easily change that. They have oil reserves, start processing local reserves and simply charge less in the domestic market. But they will hold it, use everyone else first at a cheap price then when they the only country left will want 300 a barrel from the rest of the world. If they worried about wining a election, there are ways to limit the impact of what saudi, iran and russia are doing.
