While I'm on the same page with you re China, it doesn't mean that actions should not be taken where they could be afforded by political realities.

China and Russia gain strength in network effects of growing illiberal alliances, and taking the smaller fish helps.

I'm afraid the only thing such one-sided actions will do is to throw them in the arms of Russia and China.

It's quite an assumption they aren't there.

The smaller fish will turn to China to provide them with the technology the West denies them.

Every year the old world order crumbles a little more.
