So, by this logic, Post-War Japan was not a sovereign state.
How a country must operate during wartime versus peace is extremely different. And the UK in WWII also issued bonds and took debt. Were they no longer sovereign?
That part of your argument is ridiculous. Ukraine is an independent nation with its own sovereignty and territorial authority.
I stl don’t understand how this is better/different than EmuDeck, a project I heard much more about.
To everyone cracking jokes about a gay uprising, it’s a lot simpler than any of that.
They just want to exterminate the gays. Like literally. They want to find that portion of the population and destroy it, because they think it’s disgusting and evil.
That’s it. Putin and the Russian conservatives are going after gays because it’s an easy win with their conservative base, and they can claim moral superiority. Also distracts from Ukraine.
If you are gay in Russia… Its a very bad time to be gay in Russia.
This would literally put some company like Siemens out of business. They’re much more likely if not obligated to continue business in China and cease doing business in the United States. Like there’s just no way they can possibly comply with this and not ruin their company.
Moreover, it’s not like stopping a new supply of software is going to slow China down. They will absolutely crack the existing software continue to use it as a matter of national security on their side. and then just continue to work independently on it.
This administration really doesn’t understand the reach of soft power. And that by continuing these software relationships, they could simply make sure that the US is prioritized for any new developments. Which would offer an inherent priority and advantage to your economy while allowing the other government to still participate and not become hostile.
Instead, this is absolutely a hostile act towards another country, and China will interpret it as so.
