Zeitgeist demands that Russia be completely evacuated by all governments and businesses on this planet. All things Cyrillic should be boycotted. No business dealings. Massive sanctions. This was in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
These things will never work correctly.
Why Sanctions Don’t Work, and Why They Mostly Hurt Ordinary People
It would be nice if the US was just a little more concerned about its lawless southern border than it pretends to be about Russia-Ukraine.
Oh, and there are many other border skirmishes currently occurring on the planet. About which the Zeitgeist couldn’t care less. Or worse. Here’s a couple….
Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen in 2014 — as a part of a Yemeni civil war that still rages. And we’ve been helping Saudi Arabia — the invader, not the invad-ee. That puts the US in the same camp as Al Qaeda, in the Middle East bramble-bush denseet. You won’t be able to understand this information, even though the Zeitgeist did its best.
Eritrea has launched numerous incursions into Ethiopia during the latter’s ongoing Tigray War. The Zeitgeist couldn’t care less.
We now have Communist China. They have an extensive history of invading neighboring countries.
1949 Annexation of Xinjiang by the People’s Republic of China
1952 Annexation of Tibet by the People’s Republic of China
Once invaded, things quickly get worse for China’s newest possessions.
In Xinjiang — are the Uyghurs….

Taiwan, which is looming very soon on the horizon, also appears.

The Russia-China Trade Relationship Is ‘Only Going to Deepen’
Here’s where The Zeitgeist’s hypocrisy really kicks in. They have incessantly exaggerated their calls for complete Russian excommunication. They have done and said NOTHING about China’s decades’ worth of MUCH worse and more numerable bad actions.
Guess why? If you said “Money”…. If you said “Money”,… noted at the outset of this Russia nonsense:
“All these companies preening about Russian boycotts and divestitures? When China seizes Taiwan, they won’t do any of these things. Because Russia is a weak sister – and can’t bribe them China-style.”
China can also counter all that the Zeitgeist is doing to Russia.
Because money.
Russia, it should be noted, is a fragile sister. Russia is the only country with a functioning economy that doesn’t depend on petroleum. They are a gas station — with a country attached.
They haven’t been able to afford to spend the last several decades mass-bribing the US and the rest of the world. This is exactly what China did.
The Chinese characteristics of Bribing the Whole World:
“(T)he government of one country bribes the rest of the countries of the world in order to influence their attitudes and behavior.”
Long-standing omnidirectional poisoning has plagued the US:

“Lather, rinse and repeat all of this US idiocy for decades….”
And The Zeitgeist’s China corruption is a two-way street. China has more than 1 billion prison inmates. Oops — I mean people. These are the people our morally corrupt Big Businesses consider a large, captive audience.
These companies must agree to morality sales before they will be allowed access to the prison population by the ChiComms. All of these requirements are met by large businesses all over the globe.
Big Tech has the ability to quickly sell the US and China’s peoples to the ChiComms faster than any sector.
Because Big Tech is all about the government cronyism — all over the world.
Here in the US, they bribe the daylight out of DC — and get all sorts of crony government gifts.
Section 230 gives Big Tech almost total legal amnesty.
Net neutrality: This bans Big Tech from paying huge amounts for bandwidth.
Blanket antitrust amnesty: Where DC perpetually feigns enforcement…but never, ever delivers.
Universal Service Fund tax exempt: Tax imposed for expanding Internet access to the least fortunate. From which Big Tech benefits mightily – but for which they pay nothing.
DC’s international protection racket: Where DC goes to war to protect Big Tech from any international taxes, legislation or regulations that Big Tech finds even remotely unpleasant.
And on, and on, and….
To gain access to China’s one+ billion prisoners, Big Tech happily submits to the Communist regime’s many demands. This includes selling the US out repeatedly.
