Russia opposes Taiwan’s independence in any form and considers the island an inseparable part of China, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published on Sunday.

In an interview with Russia’s TASS state news agency, Lavrov also urged Japan to “think carefully” about what he described as a course towards militarisation".

        It seems to me the whole world has always been about assholes supporting each other - until their interests don’t allign anymore - while they all keep the common idiots fighting each other.
