If all this is true then China not backing Russia on invading Crimea is more of a fact because Russia didn't invade Crimea?
It is not about Russia's invasion of Crimea. China did not vote against the UN resolution declaring the Crimea referendum invalid. It did not support Russia's position that the referendum was valid.
There is nothing to enforce. It was a non-binding resolution. The only result is that Russia has isolated itself quite deeply.
So what now? Is NATO going to enforce UN resolution??
I don't know if neutrality is shrewd. But yes, China has given up nothing. Nor did it show support for Russia.
China is a very shrewd country. It has given up nothing by its action.
The only result is that Russia has isolated itself quite deeply.
Nor did it show support for Russia.
The vote says otherwise: 100 for, 11 against. Small club.
Russia hasn't isolated itself
What?
what you wanted Russia to became Phage?
Russia prevented the US from bombing Syria? Seems like there wasn't much support for doing so, either at home or in the UN.
let America Bomb Syria and be like Libya currently is?
I don't think they've been invited and this action won't help.
Let Russia join the EU and NATO?

The vote on the UN resolution to declare the Crimea referendum invalid.
And what vote is that again Phage?
What?
the one that was in Crimea sounds like you dont like it either when Russia or someone else does it democratically comparing what had occurred in Kosovo.

Whether or not the UN is "useless" doesn't really matter. It is clear that Russia is not getting support from the international community for its actions in Crimea.
Seriously? that UN resolution that declared that the Crimea referendum as invalid really phage? you still believe and see the UN as not useless?
What intervention? Seems that Syria is doing a pretty good job of self-destruction.
The UN nearly brought Syria to its destruction by declaring an intervention

ezwip
Russia and China are right next to each other with occasional border disputes. So it's not really in their interest to see Russia expanding again.

If that is the case, then the title is nothing more than a propaganda to try and misguide people into believing that China is against Russia on this. When in fact China abstained from the vote. It no secret that, the UN is nothing more than an extension of the US propaganda machine. There have been many instances in the past, when the US has bypassed the UN and the UN did absolutely nothing to stop them. All i can say is well played China. Well played, they are well aware of all the pieces on the board. Very cunning.edit on 30-3-2014 by f0xbat because: (no reason given)
