Clearly, we're using Chinese tactics here. I say that because if we were using Russian tactics, we would have invaded Mexico by now (wouldn't that turn the board security issue on its head). 

FYI:
I say that in jest.

I'm not inclined to defend or attack anyone where the only way I know of the situation is from either of them... used to be that journalism offered a less biased view... but that's over, so all sources are suspect... as none of them can be relied upon to simply tell us what is happening without an obligatory judgement embedded in it.

Too many lies made worse by too many lying questions... and no authority to ask without being lied to somehow.

All I hope for is no more death, destruction, and platitudes.

I don't know, and can't guess what the people of China, Russia, Ukraine, or any number of other countries in troubled time are going to do.  I can guess about what their leaders might do, but I can't judge the people by what their leaders do... I could judge their leaders, I guess... but then it becomes that whole game of personalities which I hate... it makes for too many tropes, and too many clichés from supporters and antagonists.
I remember when that Earthquake destroyed the mountain pass and flooded a city in China. China at first refused to address the issue of the city even being there, then after survivors started showing up they said it was just a mountain village. Then some media reports with pictures got leaked and China still haven't disclosed the true death numbers.
