@alexlazar4738 interesting that you complain about the same democracy that allows you to post on this platform. Try criticizing the Russian government in Russia or the Chinese government in China online snd you'll find that without democracy you'll end up in prison very quickly. So right now you are being a hypocrite posting online protected by democracy while saying you have no need for democracy. I presume then that as you don't want to be a hypocrite you will no longer be posting anything online.

@alexlazar4738 NATO doesn't ask countries to join countries to join NATO. Eastern European countries (and now Finland and Sweden) asked to join NATO for protection against a Russia which they knew was the last country in the world (with the possible exception of Russia's friends Serbia and China) with an 18th century Imperialist mindset. Other Imperialist European countries have unlike Russia almost completely given up their empires and have chosen to live in peace with their neighbors because they now see the stupidity of the centuries of European wars. All Russia has to do to be safe is to behave like other European countries and live in peace and stop all its unprovoked genocidal invasions of other countries. It's Imperialist Russia that is completely responsible for countries wanting to join NATO and for the unprovoked Russian invasions of Ukraine (and of Georgia and of Chechnya and of Moldova) snd for any tensions between Russia and the rest of Europe. It seems to stem from the fact that Putin (like China's leader) is a very weak, paranoid, insecure, little man suffering from paranoid delusions and afraid of his own shadow and under the delusion that Ukraine was going to attack and conquer Russia or that Lithuania was going to attack and conquer Russia or that etc., etc., ...., when no country other than China has any intention of attacking Russia. Plus the fact that many Russians seem to share Putin's paranoid delusions.

@alexlazar4738 condemning an unprovoked genocidal Russian invasion of a peaceful democratic country involving countless terrorist acts and war crimes every day is not "Russiaphobia". It's simply having basic humanity and morality. More than anyone Russian citizens should be condemning the war.

@chrism7969 one area in which a trade war between the west and China (or possibly the west and India) could possibly hurt the west is in essential medicines. The west relies on China and India a lot for essential medicines. It's understandable that people want cheaper drugs and if the cheapest sources are China and India then those are the places where production is cheapest then those are the places that will produce medicines for Western countries but if there ever was a sudden shutdown of trade for any reason a lot of people in the west would suddenly find out that they couldn't get medicines essential to their health and possibly their life. I think that Western countries should seriously examine the risks and vulnerabilities of continuing with this arrangement. I worry somewhat as well about the dominance of China and Chinese companies in producing solar panels and their great control over precious metals. And even cutting off the supply of a huge percentage of the items we buy in the store would have a huge impact. Very quickly our stores would be half empty. Once over the course of a month or so every time that I was in a store tried to find a water bottle not made in China. Couldn't find one so eventually I bought a water bottle made in China. As well a lot of sophisticated electronic products such as Apple products are made in China. We saw how lockdowns in China messed up supply chains. But that was tiny compared to what would happen with a complete trade war.

@alexlazar4738 have no idea why international organizations accept at face value anything the Russian government says about its economy. The Russian government lies about everything and all it does is spout propaganda. It's foolish to believe a terrorist Russian regime that said early last year that it would not invade Ukraine, which talks as if Ukraine and NATO attacked Russia and which still claims there is no war in Ukraine.
