Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Perhaps your living room and bedroom are in different Italian regions, with differing cyber policies? (Italian politics is so complicated)

RT works for me (on my client's computer, behind all sorts of sophisticated firewalling designed, in particular, to keep the Russians out).

So, according to RT, China is toeing the Russian line : this is all about the "Great Powers" (Russia, China and the US), and this is not how we do business.

Europe is merely sideswiped in a passive-aggressive mention ("the US and its allies"), even though it's the EU doing the heavy boycotting.

What's the point? It's on RT, so your government is probably protecting you from following it....

The Russians and Chinese -- the Russians especially -- believe that Europe is a vassal state of ours for some reason.

This is why I say: What Putin is doing here is really about us.  He thinks it's a Great Powers game, and it's not.  This is his way of trying to fight us.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

Exhibit A: Putin refusing to discuss with the EU at the beginning of the year. He only wanted Biden as an interlocutor, just like in Geneva last year.
