Nah, embargo/blockade Hungary. Hungary is almost completely surrounded by EU members who its reliant on for its economy. They need to have elections and get rid of their dictator if they don't want to be turned into European North Korea.

And (if Erdogan wins reelection) sanction the crap out of Turkey. Turkey's economy is in the shitter and heavy sanctions would make them think twice about stirring the pot. Their elections are already heavily manipulated by Erdogan, and can hardly be considered free or fair. Hope we get some international observers to help confirm the results in May.

Yep! And that argument about when the anti-Westerns say that China builds developing nations hospitals and the West only gives them lectures is so weak. If China wanted to do that for free for the sake of reciprocity, then that’s great! But they’re debt-trapping these nations. They seized that port in Sri Lanka after they failed to pay the debts. China and the West need to work together on developing the rest of the undeveloped world, but their desire to outcompete with the West for influence in the region does not benefit them. China is in for a world of hurt over the next couple decades. They need to focus on their healthcare challenges coming up with an aging population.
