☝️ 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)_/¯

☝️ Question to the #EUCommission: If the values enshrined in #UnitedNations (#humanrights) declarations are considered truly important, why are all the democracies financing, industrializing and otherwise empowering hostile #authoritarian regimes?

There are basically zero incentives for governments and elites of developing countries to choose #democracy over #authoritarianism... 👀

💥 Why not establish a global trading system where authoritarians and despots face serious tariffs and embargoes, and military-expansionist or even genocidal regimes actually face at least *some* real world consequences over their crimes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meanwhile trade and financial, industrial and technological assistance should be reserved for countries with at least *minimal* adherence to the most basic #UN ideals.

Why is this simple concept so difficult? Reward good, not evil.

Is it really hard to fathom *why* the post-1989 world rewarded greed over democratic values? In 1989, only months after the #TianAnMen massacre, trade delegations were queueing up to kowtow the #CCP #dictatorship... They got the message, as did #putler a decade later.
