☝️ Good piece on the catastrophic failure of business-driven appeasement of the kremlin neoimperialist.
「Members of the Russian establishment remained convinced that while their Western counterparts enjoyed making idealistic speeches, they were ultimately driven by a far baser hunger for money. This Russian contempt for so-called Western values was further strengthened by experience, particularly the indecently rapid clamor for a return to business-as-usual following Moscow’s 2008 invasion of Georgia. The same was true in the wake of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine.
Russian perceptions of Western weakness and hypocrisy directly paved the way for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. 」
The same #NoConsequences policy failures apply to business-driven appeasement of the zhongnanhai neoimperialists in Beijing, which started all the way back in the 1970s but inexplicably (read: greed) went into overdrive *after* the 1989 Tiananmen massacre and all the 'domestic' repression in China and its occupied lebenraum territories that followed.
💥 Instead of (free) trade being used as a leverage to discourage #dictatorship, it became a tool for *empowering* it!
The sociopath taking over kremlin in 2000 might have no EQ and an IQ of under 60 and still see the CCP thriving in the Business Uber Alles environment further enabled with the granting of the #WTO membership (to manipulate in every means possible).
And with the CCP now empowered, all tinpot despots across the globe are aligning under its "safe for #authoritarianism" umbrella...
The rest is history now unfolding, with all those business-driven democracies shocked and dismayed and wondering "how did we get here!?". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

☝️ It took just over three decades of no-consequences business with despots to get here — from the immediate post-Tiananmen massacre kowtow queues in Beijing to putin launching a full-scale war on Ukraine in attempt to take it all, or if that fails, to simply eradicate the nation.
And now the axis of despots are backing and cheering on their fellow terrorists' attack on Israel.
Fully building up that axis took many years, but the memo from the 'Free World' was sent and noted by the CCP in the autumn of 1989.
Due to greed and indifference of investors and industrialists from democracies (!) we ended up funding and empowering hostile despots instead of friendly developing democracies.
And here we are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

⬆️ 1:31 clip of speech by former Minister of Defence of Lithuania, Rasa Juknevičienė.
The era of democracies selling out to any and all despots is coming to an end.

Great. But just #Iran?
What about technology exports and business with all the other #dictatorships?
Especially the ones engaging in #genocide?

Especially the ones engaging in #genocide? Which, incidentally, are the same ones helping the #Iranian #regime cling to power?
Maybe it's *finally* time to stop collaborating with the entire network of despots?
