True enough. I retract what I said earlier about you not being able to recognize a communist.
Your trouble here, however, is that regardless of whether or not Xi benefits from this war, that if the US allows Russian aggression to go unchecked, that, too, huts us.
Our choices are...
1. let Xi benefit and let Russian aggression in Eastern Europe go unchecked (and thereby suffer the long-term consequences)
...or...
2. let Xi benefit and check Russian aggression in Eastern Europe (and thereby strengthen the NATO alliance and our relationships with our European cousins)
Option 2 is the Lesser of Two Evils.
Xi benefits either way.,
With Option 2 we benefit both tactically and strategically.
Close enough for Gubmint Work.
