After strongly condemning the actions of Mugabe at the G8 summit and voiceing support of Brown's call for UN sanctions, they back pedal and veto the sanctions. Is this because it will cut into their profits because they wouldn't be able to sell them guns. First supplying a genocidal regime in Sudan with weapons and military hardware in exchange for oil, so they can mass murder women and children, now this. Are they not just as bad or worse than the US/UK when it comes to looking after their own interests. At least when the UK/US see injustice and crimes against humanity, they do something about it, it may leave a bad taste in peoples mouths, but at least they take action, rather than supply guns to the bad guys.

Answer 1

No no no. There is always a hidden agenda when it comes to politics. Its not always cut and dry with these guys.

Tell me again why America invaded Iraq?

Answer 2

" At least when the UK/US see injustice and crimes against humanity,  they do something about it, " haha like bomb the fcukers that dont agree with them? er, yeah...

"it may leave a bad taste in peoples mouths, but at least they take action, rather than supply guns to the bad guys." er, its subjective who the bad guys are, no?

Answer 3

you do realise that it's the US that its the biggest gun supplier on the world, don't you?

Answer 4

Every nation is as bad as each other.

Answer 5

See it from their point of view. The US regime is the most criminal and the most dangerous on earth. Its just that they are too polite to say, "Hang on a sec there mateys, who's bumped off millions of Iraqi civilians and displaced about 4 million?"

Yeah right. The pot calling the kettle black. How come some people don't see the real picture. About 80 people died in Zimbabwe elections. In other African countries, hundreds are killed during election time because the poor ill - educated people are told falsely that their lives will change dramatically if such and such wins. Since dire poverty is abound, they will resort to violence and murder. That much is well known. Mugabe does not have to order anyone to intimidate anyone else. That's just the way these things go.

And most of those leaders who scream out for sanctions are just doing it to divert attention from their own economic failures. Bush has buggered the American economy. Oil prices are at historic highest. The $ has sunk. Shares are in free fall. Banks are going Bankrupt! DAILY. So what do they do. Yes I will tell you - find some small country far away and start whingeing about human rights or g*y rights!

Answer 6

Russia and China have a history of leaving other countries alone. Their combined military budgets are 110 Billion, compared to the USA 1,2 Trillion (in $US).

The USA have a history of meddling and supporting Dictators, invading other countries and building military bases there (40 countries with 486 bases)

Russia and China have a combined 7 military bases outside their countries

The USA is by far the biggest producer and legal and illegal weapons supplier in the world.

That's all facts.

By the way, Mugabe was The Brits Darling, when he came to power and I wouldn't be surprised, if the CIA put him there.

Just for fun facts, Roosevelt sold Eastern Europe to Stalin to be enslaved and tortured for 44 years and whats going on in Asia is really nobodies business in the western world, as we have seen with Vietnam, Laos, Philippines and Burma

Answer 7

what has Zimbabwe got to do with Russia/China.

who appointed Mugabe????

i hate it when people shift the blame on others, and the U.S is the biggest gun supplier in Africa and the world

Answer 8

Oh please!  the UK/US are just the same as China & Russia - please dont put a halo around their heads.

(next u will looking for reds under the beds).

Answer 9

Russia and China are just running true to form here.  Russia hedged its bets during WWll and even when they fought Germany it was to defend Russia, not to support the other countries fighting Germany and Japan.  Throughout the Cold War Russia constantly provided arms etc to trouble spots and encouraged all anti West activity.  It was only when China became more powerful that relations between them and Russia cooled.  These two countries have produced some of the worst genocidal tyrants ever  and, however much we may dislike what Bush is doing, he cannot be compared to these regimes.

Putin was a hard line KGB Colonel and doesn't seem to have changed his spots.  It was always bad news when he became President

I don't know what distorted History is being taught in our schools today but it seems that it has been rewritten by those with an agenda, mainly to brainwash people into such violent anti British and American attitudes.

Yes, Bush, Blair and Brown are a disaster but they will all be gone soon.  The legacy of Russia and China still continues after 60 years of mayhem.  I don't need a 'history' lesson to teach me, I've lived through it all.

Answer 10

Yes, my friend, everyone has chosen sides.

In the RED corner we have China, Russia, Africa, Islam, Iran North Korea and 90% of the world, Non- Aligned States controlled by China AND in the Blue corner we have America, perhaps, Europe, Israel Australia, New Zealand, Canada and G-D.

Place your bets, this one will be the biggie.

The most prollific weapons in Africa are the AK 47 and other Russian/Chines arms, I don't know where you get your info from?
