The system working as intended.

The thing is Vietnam doesn’t even have a particularly poor relationship with China. Yet it seems like bashing China is a national pastime. There are border disputes, yes, but they have those all over the world, like for instance between the US and Canada.

I’m a little concerned about how badly China is losing the optics war on this conflict. As far as I know, you can’t really pin the blame on either side here.

There’s no cognitive dissonance with the libs. They’ll say it’s okay when they do it because they’re “protecting freedom and democracy,” but if China and Russia are doing it it’s “authoritarian aggression.”

Now, I also think it’s good when our side does it and bad when the other does it, but I don’t pretend to be impartial.
