> If the entire world were to put sanctions on China

That is very wishful thinking. The Entire World has yet to put Sanctions on Russia after all and im not just talking about Russia's Friends like India and China. A lot of Non-Aligned (as in not part of the US or Russian Sphere) have basically taken no action.

Indians really live in a world where they think they’re the center of the universe don’t they. You do realize the US lobbies for dozens of countries to buy its weapons systems, right…? Like we do the same around the world, you aren’t special. Your economy is smaller than California’s

The AFU only wants combat experienced troops. The only way I'd be able to fight would be via joining a militia, which would run afoul of the foreign fighter laws.

It's like explaining why the sky is blue to a goddamned toddler.

E2A: https://www.perthilj.com/blog/the-legality-of-australians-fighting-in-foreign-conflicts > under s 119.1 of the Act, a person commits an offence if they enter into a foreign country with the intention of engaging in a hostile activity in that country or any other foreign country [14]. A person will also commit an offence if they engage in hostile activities in a foreign country [15]. However, liability under s 119.1 will not apply to an act done by a person “in the course of, and as part of, the person’s service in any capacity in or with ... the armed forces of the government of a foreign country”

Wdym? The EU has put in place several measures to hopefully tackle this issue. They’ve frozen alot of hungarys COVID recovery fund for example.

You gotta remember there’s not alot they can do about it either. While they might disagree with Orbans actions, like you and me, they have no legal right to get rid of him in any way. He was democratically elected afterall. The only way they could in theory force him out is if he broke european laws. But then if they try to put him on trial, he could just say no.
