Are you serious? It's not even close. At least China is a lighter dictatorship. And they try to improve their own country and international relations. In Russia they have absolutely no problem to poison, to kill and murder anyone who tries to oppose them. They're not a "light dictatorship". They're brutal. China executes more people than any other country in the world. www.statista.com/statistics/267304/number-of-executions-worldwide/I'm pretty sure they're not all axe murderers, I bet a significant portion of those dead people are political dissidents. You don't hear as much shit about China in western media because we're so dependent on cheap manufactured goods to keep our consumer driven economies afloat.

Generally the Chinese government. Russia wants to supplant us on a global scale. China just wants to dominate Asia and sell everyone else their crap. That's not true at all. China's blue water navy only has one possible aim, global projection of military power. Russia can want all day long, they can't supplant the US, their economy is too small and thus they'll never have the money to challenge the US globally with their military. The only reason they're able to challenge us in eastern Europe and parts of Asia is living off old Soviet era stockpiles.

Coin flip.
If we could have a 3 sided coin I'd put the US/western governments in there too. We are the "light dictatorship" Harry Skywalker described China as being.
We try to keep political opponents off ballots, we try to imprison them, we destroy dissident media, jail protestors, create fake protests to act as the elites enforcement thugs, limit speech, put government picks and chooses when it wants to obey its own laws, we spy on citizens without any pushback.

They are a light dictatorship because I know many people who live their and they are NOT always murdering people at all.
And that data is not reliable at all. Russia and North Korea don't even appear there... LMAO!

Do you think people in Russia and North Korea are getting shot every five minutes? You don't think there aren't millions who live normal lives but keep their mouths shut and do their business so the governments leave them be?

Nice try.

I mean at least Russia doesnt have those secret police units/stations all around the world. China is also famous for stealing tech and intellectual property. Then there's TikTok and Huawei (state sponsored). Also buying Western companies With WW2 at least Russia was an ally. Sure that has changed now. China is untested
That's what I'm saying, too. They've repeatedly shown the propensity to get up to shit ..........even right under our noses.
Remember all those ballots? in TEXAS? That nothing ever really came of it?

Well, I just see China/Xi as a much larger threat.
And WHY would Iran be an enemy to the US? Our puppets in the past didn't take?
I call Iran a backward country with a buncha bearded whackos running things. But they do have a lot of college grads.
People are both.
The most damage people can do is in larger groups......especially Govts.
We mucked with Iran to help Britain. Just like wwehelped Britain trying to get Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin.
So even flimsier reasons for mucking about?
