Sure was, but now there is US document publically stating that. The weight someone wants to give it is up to them.
Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.
When Russia was considered a super power, this would have been news. Now that they're known as a paper tiger, this isn't surprising.
I think a paper tiger is even giving them too much credit at this point.
Isn't the USA supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine?
Yeah but it is not suitable for rage inducing title, so they choose China instead.
The double standards and american exceptionalism of the people that post CNN/WaPo/NYT news articles on foreign events...
Russia is the aggressor and the US stands with Ukraine and helps them.
China pretends to be ‘neutral’ in a war so glaringly having a country violate the sovereignty of Ukraine but then secretly support the aggressor.
What is so difficult to understand? Or do you purposefully try to muddy the waters by invoking “whatabout…?” and see if the countries supporting Ukraine could be slandered?
This war could not be more clear in who is the aggressor and who try to help the violated. The fact you feel the need to point in all directions and try to steer attention away from where we should be paying attention to is in itself a despicable act, only the logical conclusion I am left with is that you somehow feel aligned with russia and it’s war path against others. You created a moral outrage where other should feel bad but the only thing you have truly done is put a stain on your character. Pathetic and shameful to be basically rooting for russia at this point.

Yep, and that’s a good thing.
American cluster bombs are still killing children in Laos. They're a stupid weapon.
Russia invaded Laos?!

Like once a year we get an article about how the us military is too reliant on Chinese parts in their supply chain lol
"China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions"
Uh, even if this is true, so what? China isn't beholden to the west? The notions of supremacy are unreal with American media.
It's interesting though as weak Russia is in China's favor. But it seems that they choosing short-time gain of cheap gas/oil instead for now.
A weak Russia wouldn't distract the flailing US empire's focus while China continues to overtake the US. China is absolutely interested in a strong Russia.
It's currently under question whether China will ever overtake the US in GDP. If you're solely projecting based on the assumption that current growth will continue that is a sensible conclusion, but it's a faulty one. First and foremost, China has a much older demographic makeup that will be a drag on economic grow. Second, the birthrate is significantly lower than the US (1.28 in China vs 1.64 in the US in 2020), where 2.1 is replacement. Last, the US has decent amounts of immigration that help make up the difference between births and replacement, while China is experiencing negative migration rates. China and the US are both attempting policy changes, but haven't had much success.

As a Canadian American who currently hates Russia and what Russia feels is an appropriate reaction to Ukraine seeking to join Nato. Not to mention the number of children they have killed, civilians they have openly executed...I couldn't hate Russia more than I do right now. Used to respect them and like Putin. Anyways, even though it sucks, Russia and China have every right to work together. We can't control things like this. However, I hope Ukraine kicks Russia's ass.
China lied about its actions and is supporting the aggressor of a despicable invasion.
Why did you expect China to follow Western sanctions?
You can’t have endless war without three really solid participants!
And in other news millions of US arms to Ukraine keep ending up in Africa. But let's talk about China helping Russia even though we already new this was going to happen from the start.
Source on this?
YEah, no surprise there. See past the veil, Rus never changed when the un-dethroneable president is "ex" KGB.
