It's a cliche. Your government supplies a medieval regime that's visiting the worst humanitarian disaster in the world - of biblical proportions - on a defenceless population which, unsurprisingly is something Britain's been very skilled at throughout history. Whilst "Global Britain" supports various dictators and monarchies of the day, China is building the most ambitious multinational infrastructure project. Whilst your simplistic quip might earn a few votes on Reddit, I think the world at large knows not to take statements like that seriously. Perhaps stick with the "sneaky Russians" or "the evil Putin", you'll probably get more upvotes. Oh yeah, and see the underlying story for what it is, Britain doing the dirty work for the Americans with the pathetic provocation of an actual superpower.
