International Relations smells like International Politics in wars and in diplomacy.

As The West seek diplomatic solutions, Russia's FM has downplayed talks about the eminent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, like they did in Georgia in 2008

Europe can send military tanks to Eastern Europe to help Ukraine detere further Russian incursion, however, it cannot cut-off Russia, nor impose swift system like they did when Iran was on the table. This is so because 40 percent of power consumed within European Union comes from Russia. The renegade USSR was also part of the allied forces, until it had chances to become the unipolar force of the world. With America being the stumbling block. It was a defeat for the defunct USSR, and America soon ruled the unipolar world. Unlike Russia, China is not military advanced, however, it has the capability and capacity to successfully invade Taiwan and impose it's rules and the communist ideologies. This time, it is the Chinese socialism, not the communist manifesto. The most ridiculous initiatives on the path of America and Europe would be to severe ties with the elephant in the house which is China. Whether cherished or not, China is like the spine of the world economy. In the American media scripts, China is likened to an adversary, in reality it is nothing but a threatening partner because of its growing economic and military wings, across the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. China is not only America's biggest business partner, China is also friend to Europe's biggest economic that is Germany. Anthony Blinkin and Lavrov will be meeting in Geneva this week after meeting the Ukrainian in Kiev. Both Taiwan and Ukraine have no trusted partners in Europe and America, the Kurds know better. International relations smells like international politics in wars and in diplomacy.
