Cooperate with Europe ❌ Cooperate with US ✅

China was never going to enter into any deal with US/Russia until they were at/close to parity with them. Russia stopped being trustworthy and were clearly skirting/breaking the rules. Even if both of those countries wanted a deal now the US isn't trustworthy so nuclear escalation it is.

Um, now really isn't the time to cooperate with the US. We have the new Nero ruling here.

Cooperation with the US will unfortunately have to have the caveat of "check back with us in 2 years or sudden blood clot"

Even then, do you really want to base a long-term strategy on the whims of a few thousand rural Pennsylvania voters every few years? The US will always be one election from installing another Trump.

True, but that's still better than waking up to a post one day saying "NOW THAT WE'RE NOT PART OF TRAITOR NATO ANYMORE, I FEEL NO OBLIGATION TO KEEP MY BLUE, BABY HANDS OFF FROM ITS MEMBERS' TERRITORIES. THAT IS, UNLESS THE NORWEGIAN PRIME MINISTER DECIDES TO FINALLY FIX HIS MISTAKE AND GIVE ME 11 NOBEL PEACE PRIZES, ONE FOR EACH WAR I'VE STOPPED. YOU HAVE 48 HOURS, JONAS!"

We would love to cooperate with the US, but we can’t trust that it won’t turn against us because with Donald in office, every day brings something different.

Countries that are not part of NATO and are in the title: Russia and China. Countries that NATO members antagonize even in times of peace: Russia and China. Countries with NATO sanctions: Russia and China. Countries that need to worry about a crazy attack from Trump: All except Russia and China. Countries that are trustworthy: all except the USA and Russia.

Yeah... cooperation with the US is kind of worthless right now. Well done, US, ruining any reputation in such a short time.

I assume there is an appropriate meme of Xi laughing his ass off at this.

It would be much more serious if they criticizes for the same reason USA. Since they didn't, it shows that they are a bunch of courtesans

> Russia said in February it would remain a responsible nuclear power Yeah a "responsible nuclear power" threatening other countries (including non-nuclear ones) with nuclear weapons every 10 seconds. > Russian President Vladimir Putin's government has also criticised NATO member France's plans to expand its nuclear arsenal as a "highly destabilising" move ‌that posed ⁠a potential threat to Moscow. Well it's a reaction to what Russia has been doing for the last 15 years. France never threatened Russia with nuclear weapons, while Russia has threatened France, the UK, Germany, Ukraine and many other countries many times. > China always keeps ​its nuclear strength at the minimum ​level required by national security ⁠and will never participate in a nuclear arms race +100 nukes / year does look like a small nuclear arms race. I'm not sure you need more than 200 nukes. You do need thousands of decoys to ensure the nukes will hit the target but you don't need thousands of nukes.
