Beijing on Disconnecting Russia From SWIFT: China Not Backing Sanctions to Settle IssuesChina does not approve of the use of sanctions as a means to resolve conflicts, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Monday."China does not support the use of sanctions to solve problems, and opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law," Wang told reporters when asked about Beijing's stance on Russia being disconnected from the SWIFT payment system.Commenting on the possibility that Chinese companies will join anti-Russian sanctions, the diplomat said that Beijing demands that the US do not harm the legitimate rights and interests of China and other parties in resolving the Ukrainian issue."China supports and encourages everything that contributes to the peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine. Ukraine should become a link between East and West, and not a border of confrontation between great powers," the diplomat said, urging the parties to negotiate to ease tensions.Additionally, the spokeswoman said that Russia and China will continue normal trade cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.
So what is neutral , Supporting U.S. ?Supporting Russia? Definetly China and India were Neutral and the Neutrality weighed more for the Russians than U.S.These are just facts.

What is our impact on Russian actions in the Ukraine? What is our interest? If the answer is zero, then these be some highly imprudent moves here. Conflict in Africa affects us one way or another both as members of the AU as well as our being a big asylum-providing country in the region. Sasa sisi here in East Africa tutaruka huko Eastern Europe saa ngapi na kwa nini? Don't look at this issue so much from your lense as an American/UK-resident. Just as a Baafrika/Meero. Unless the Americans have promised us some big goodies I don't know about in exchange for supporting them on this type of thing, the only wise thing for us to do is shut up and follow developments on viusasa.The answer is not zero. There is interest. Gas prices in Kenya skyrocketed. Wheat and other commodities also rise. As member of security council Kenya cannot play neutral. Even China abstaining is not neutral, just playing safe. Non-Aligned Movement no longer exist in real terms. India championed non-aligned is not neutral. Kimani doing well.

Audacity, I have not studied Kenyan Foreign Affairs, I'm really talking from a common sense rather than an expert perspective. What is our impact on Russian actions in the Ukraine? What is our interest? If the answer is zero, then these be some highly imprudent moves here.
