#1 I've noticed that the two "great pigs", Russia and China, who amorally support every dictator out there, never get threatened by those who oppose the dictators.

That is, telling R&C that "either you stop supporting these thugs, or when we get in power, we are going to cut you off. As in, no business or even diplomatic relations with you, and we recognize Taiwan."

Instead, they quietly fume. Like the eastern Europeans, they are usually silent when it comes to Russia. But in practice, they will not give Russia the time of day, and are rather gleeful when Russia get one in the shorts.
