    Isn’t it time to step up to these bullies? Iran, NK, Russia and China.

    Human life is more worth than some dictators ego.

          Fair enough but that stuff only affects Russia. It doesn’t affect Iran and it definitely doesn’t affect China.

            Yes, China is the hardest part, if we just stop having economic relations with them, then we have way less soft power for example. We should help Taiwan for example.

            Russia though, is propping up Iran (or did so) and NK, so affecting russia affects Iran, NK not so much.

            But standing strong together is s first step, and sanktion where it can be done too.

      Yes now is the time especially wrt Iran and ruzzia. Irans proxies are significantly weakened in Syria and Lebanon. Russia also lost influence in Syria now that the freedom-loving people of Syria have risen up. Russia is also losing in Ukraine.

      Either these countries buck up and accept the Rules Based Order or pay the consequences.

        What rules-based order? Gestures vaguely at the Middle East. Also you’re forgetting that all these countries are bankrolled by China so while they’re weakened they still have a strong backer who’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
