People should look at how Iran speaks about Russia and China, not make up their own litmus tests for China and Russia to pass out of thin air.
It’s such an energy drain and self-own to be making up arbitrary stuff these countries have to do to “prove themselves” while ignoring the relationships they have in the geopolitical world.
I’ve got nothing against this guy in particular, mind. It’s more I’m getting really tired of this kind of thing in general. People have got to stop believing that the western-led circus performance is the substance. Look at where material connections of support and solidarity lie. Political power comes “from the barrel of a gun” (and related: control over the means of production and distribution). Legislative abstraction atop that is only as legitimate as the guns behind it and whose interests they serve. The UN is not, and has never been, a neutral organization in the hands of a fair and balanced world order; the unipolar western military power and its interests is fundamentally opposed to such a goal.
