But but, "muh agriculture". Yeah, and you blockaded the Germans in both world wars knowing full well they were dependent on food imports to avoid nation-wide starvation. The fact you starved the Germans to the point of surrender in WW1 is well-known.
You mean the Potato Blight situation?
Yes, the UK did blockade Germany. Germany was big, scary and could pack a punch. It's not like anyone would hide that fact - Germany was twice the size of the UK, and invented the
flamethrower. We did not deliberately introduce the Blight - that was a Europe-wide problem. Germany was an existential threat, and had also bombed London in both world wars.
And let's not talk about the Boers, the British burning and salting the earth to ensure nothing could grow that the commandoes could live off of (as well as the farmers afterwards in peacetime), and the concentration camps that were so good at killing off their inhabitants Hitler decided to copy them wholesale.
Yes, the Boer War is the first time that happened. The Boer War was fought between British South Africans, and Dutch South Africans. It makes perfect sense for Britain to be involved, there. Britain went too far on it, in my opinion - but the Dutch
did reintroduce slavery, and try to deport the British settlers. Hence, it's "controversial" but not universally condemned. Both sides were at intense fault, and the use of camps came after a long series of escalations.
You mean the very definition of untrustworthy states?
By you. Exclusively the USA and exclusively because "they keep accusing us of using smallpox as a weapon" - they had an entire vaccination campaign across the entire coast of China, terrified that you would launch attacks on their mainland.
Like, this isn't a minor deal - China
openly believes this. China teaches this as fact. It is a known reality, in most of Asia, that the USA is dangerous because it will use chemical and biological weapons in any conflict, for any reason, with no justification. They see you as animalistic barbarians - and for good reason, because you dropped the fucking
plague because the Chinese beat you. Russia believes this, too.
There is no negotiation with a country like that. There's no way to ever be secure in an alliance with the USA - they will drop the plague, randomly, as soon as they start to face any actual battle. You're not a "center for freedom" - you're an insane group of spoiled radicals. You cannot stomach any loss, and most of the world is held hostage by the fact that the most utterly insane, spoiled brats and crybabies have access to nuclear weapons. Iran is genuinely more trustworthy than the USA - Iran only uses chemical or biological weapons during existential wars on its own border. Iran doesn't drop smallpox on civilians as a response to
losing a fucking battle.
oo boy, you mean the guys with the Confucius Institutes and police stations in Canada to keep an eye on ex-pats?
Australia wants to talk about their Prime Minister.
Even if I take your claims at face value about us waging biological war that just makes our involvement in the Wuhan biolab even more bizarre, since why would the Chinese openly cooperate on gain-of-function research with a nation that has supposedly used biological weapons against them in the past?
They actually fit right in - the Chinese weren't cooperating. It implies that the USA was threatening them into cooperation, and then released COVID when they didn't cooperate enough.
It does fit right in, and the USA arrested journalists for speaking about it. Multiple agencies investigated it, and found that North Korea - which had samples, videos, bodies, the whole deal - was telling the truth. The USA threw a fit, called the international investigation "Communists" and then founded its own organisation (conveniently, the same organisation now focuses on trannies)
In response to a Canadian investigation which found the USA had used chemical and biological weapons, the USA found a
hand-written copy from the "Russian Archives" - which included comments from Laventriy Beria - which exonerated the USA wholly, and made out that the North Koreans executed thousands of random civilians with plague they acquired from the Chinese, to frame the USA.
Unbeknownst to the USA, Laventriy Beria was dead at that point, there was no way to verify any of these documents, but still. It must be true - it's an
official response from the Clinton administration.
In the USA vs China debate, China is right. Morally, the fact that the USA demanded the Chinese withdraw - and saw the Chinese as "the aggressor" when you dumped the fucking plague on them - shows the true nature of the average American.
Hardly a civil war. North and South were and are independent countries, and the invasion by the North had been done with the direct blessing and support from both China and the USSR. The Nork battle plans were even personally approved by Stalin! Its not like those T-34's appeared out of thin air after all. I'll further note that said invasion only came after a year of massive guerilla war directly backed and supported by North Korea, including North Korean commando forces who had infiltrated the South.
Yes. The USSR had fought in Korea, and the USA had not. Why would they want to put an American dictator in control, when they already had their own dictator lined up? Kim Il-Sung had fought against the Japanese - Syngman Rhee had been installed by the USA in 1948, who immediately slaughtered over ten thousand South Koreans who protested.
Like, no shit, both the USSR and China share a border with Korea. They have a specific vested interest in the region. It's more bizarre that the USA wanted to "contain" the USSR by propping up brutal regimes on its border, and allegedly, launching artillery strikes.
Seriously, Russia and China both say that it was actually the South who hit first. I don't know who to believe - the Chinese, or the guys who dropped the plague on the Chinese.
There is a reason the USA doesn't teach the Korean war. It was a brutal land-grab, worse than the Soviets - the entire world saw you as the villain. They were right, you
did actually fucking invade a country, install a dictator as a puppet, then give everyone diseases and induce a famine when you failed. Do you know who the head of security was for South Korea? A former Japanese war criminal who the USA had released, specifically, because he helped the Japanese kill Communists.
There is no justifying the USA's role in Asia. China is
right - you do not belong in Europe or Asia, and are genuinely the villains. I know it's hard for you to believe, but
releasing the plague and
installing literal war criminals to slaughter civilian dissenters is generally a "bad vibe" - the Russians can say they suffered, too, but the Americans are the worst of them all. None of these were existential threats - you are nothing but a bunch of greedy opportunists.
Here's a fun fact - did you know that the South Korean government killed several thousand students who protested in
1980? The USA continued to back up the Korean dictatorships until 1988 - the guy who killed over
three thousand students was chilling with Ronald Reagan!
Then, after the dictatorships collapsed, the USA installed its "New Government" - an overtly feminist, anti-racist "Corporate Communism" which sought to blend the soulless capitalism with all the weird shit about black cock that America is so fond of.
This isn't some theory - you can see a clear progression of American history via its role in its longest conflict, the Korean War. You went from wannabe imperialists, to failed imperialists, to war criminals, to dictatorship and then to gay corporate-communism. There are Koreans alive who have been victim to all of this, in rapid succession.
