I would say I completely agree, but during the Mongols and Huns time causing headaches for Russia they were mostly city-states, rather than an actual nation state yet. So Tsar-ist is as far back as you can really say and have it mean collective Russia as a whole. Gotta remember Kyiv predates all of Russia by a couple of hundred years, Rus the original city-state was a colony of Kyiv.

As far as China goes, I’m no expert either, but their history is full of hundreds of thousands or millions being killed off somehow, usually driven by man’s own actions, even now men are dying lonely due to their dumb ass birthing policies. Life is meaningless to them, and women’s lives are worth even less.

The good old /s would have helped, but yeah I know I’m already high strung, I’m just used to people around me pulling me back to normalcy, but man some of these people seem to want to fight over dumb shit, no different at all from Reddit or worse, but I’m not here too often, although more often now with all of the enshittification, but it’s like “damn I definitely do not want to check my inbox” lol.

Also I’ve been banned from Reddit for years and have been generally glad to not be able to participate in the comments, so maybe I’m just not used to handling modern Internet discourse anymore.

They just have a similar value on life as China has, none, and this isn’t something new, this all goes back to Tsar-ist times, but may be getting a bit worse as Russia gets more desperate to fulfill the current strong man in power’s wishes.

John McCain described Russia as a Mafia owned Gas Station and when you think of Russia from that perspective everything else kind of starts to make sense.

Russians are brainwashed and tightly controlled, and they’ve been in this state of being basically since Tsar-ist times, you don’t just shake off generations of manipulation and conditioning, they’re going to be a problem until they choose to solve it or somebody chooses to solve them.

One story stands out to me about the Soichi Olympics, where the visiting athletes were basically warned about all of the spy devices by very scared staff, in mother Russia Big Brother is always watching (just like America these days).

Sure let’s be pendantic about my obvious point

Taking people against their will should imply everything you felt you had to add, without having to say it.

Also why is everyone on this app so fn high strung, like 75% of replies seem to be people trying to pick fights, some of y’all just seem addicted to ragebait, and FOR REAL take that shit to Facebook or Xitter.

I dunno, guess you shouldn’t go over to your neighbors and start invading their lands, taking their women and children, and household appliances, or something… Maybe Russia should leave…

So communist, highlights Taiwans colonial past, yet doesn’t want to highlight what China was doing while all that was going on, yet you say you’re against all genocide, can’t be against genocide while leaning Chinese like a tankie, genocides were every bit communist tools as they were tools of Nazis and capitalists, ask Georgia (the country) or anywhere else affected by the USSR.

I know historically none of us have been in the right, no pragmatically ran nation will ever be perfect, nor will one ran by greedy power hoarders like Trump, Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, Erdogan, etc., but that’s the difference, I don’t care what ideology we live under, just as long as our needs are met and we aren’t treated like disposable trash, and these guys listed don’t care about anyone but themselves, they’re comfort, they’re power over others, we can and must do better.

Doing better starts by leaving your biases behind, you seem to be under the assumption that I’m just a typical American nationalist, I’m not, sure I prioritize where I live and exist because you have to, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand the effects that colonialism caused, my family is Irish and Russin Jew, both sides of my family are refugees, and came to these shores as refugees, and while my idiot MAGA father has forgotten that, I sure haven’t.

Overall I don’t know where you are from, but quite obviously I’m gearing up to try and get my family through either a Nazi regime or a civil war, maybe cut me some slack if I’m not thinking about history from 80 years ago in another country, considering what we are all living through now. My issue is the Trump regime and until they are removed from power it’s all I really have room for, as their removal will alleviate so much pressure globally.

Bro you had zero hesitation jumping straight into colonial grievance politics when it has nothing to do with my point or the point of the post, very sealion-y, very " 'merica bad"-ish.

Taiwan is not an American colony, it’s the remnant of the former Chinese government and the Taiwanese people, and they deserve their independence from mainland China. Honoring our agreements with Taiwan is important, because that’s what credible nations do.

Trump is not credible, he voids the credibility of the US, just like his fake lawyer Press Secretary. Any foreign policy going forward will be akin to Nazi/USSR shit, like what’s going on in the Caribbean where Hegseth has them killing civilians. Any complaints you have about our former foreign policy will have to be shoved up your ass because this new America is becoming something that will make you wish for the old neo-liberal days of America.

I already see idiotic comments about wanting to see the US collapse, but wtf do you think Trump and his terrorists are going to do afterwards, just leave everyone alone? Name a fascist that’s ever been satisfied with what they have, I’ll wait.

Trump is begrudgingly the greatest intelligence win ever, but as an American and someone that wants better human rights this shit is a massive loss for all of us, except those too dumb to get that.

Thanks for your completely unbiased and factual take… Except that it’s all wrong because you chose the “America bad” argument while being biased AF.

First, she’s not Chinese born, American born, graduated from Pepperdine University, doesn’t belong to any American Bar association, moved to Beijing after graduation, took a white monkey job at a premiere Beijing law firm, very connected to the party, and then her first job back in the States is becoming the Press Secretary days after Xi visited, and also claims to belong to the Chinese Bar association, which foreigners are banned from. It’s all very fishy.

Second that’s not the point I was making at all, no country should want some other country’s intelligence asset that close to leadership, that’s the point I’m making.

Also you are either severely naive or acting on bad faith if you’re saying wealthy connected Chinese have no power in the US, especially under this particular administration.

It’s always been a three way split for world dominance and China has been playing just as hard as the rest of their opponents, they literally are constantly buying up American land and assets, as well as Canadian and others, take your blinders off or stop trying to sealion me.

The current US Press Secretary is 100% a Chinese spy, infiltration complete, sadly.

Bonus, former Transportation Secretary and Mitch McConnell’s wife ran home to China when Mitch went into hospice care.

Lastly, Wendy Deng was Putin’s ex gf, current partner of Rupert Murdock, owner of Newcorp/Sun, Fox News, NY Post, and many more, is also a Chinese spy.

All the worst people we know are all working together against us for power and control over us.

Trump’s most obvious Chinese spy Press Secretary:

“I’m a lawyer, I passed the bar in China” (and nowhere else)

Sure sweetie, the Chinese Bar that foreigners can’t take, working a white monkey job for a Beijing law firm, then her first job back in the States is as Trump’s Press Secretary, 100% a spy.

Plenty of kids who aren’t fat, or are barely even eating, get this kind of treatment, it’s gross and abusive.

My nephew on my wife’s side was treated this way by my BiL’s ex, when they recovered him he was super under weight, while his once pretty and very petite mother was super overweight, sick shit, she had the cabinets and fridge chained up, went to jail, lost custody.

It’s going to be like that Star Trek episode where they find Voyager and it’s evolved and achieved sentience.

Probably right around the lead up to the 2016 American elections, the pieces were being put into place for decades before, but the key characters like Roger Stone’s boy at Facebook, Joel Kaplan, was in place at Facebook in 2011, Putin invaded Crimeria and Donbas in 2014, both seam to be key touch points in their efforts, but getting Trump into office in 2016 was an intelligence victory as far as they’re concerned, and it’s still paying dividends for them, we, the US, are still all fucked up from that idiot and his cult of even bigger idiots and lost causers.

Umm Marine LePen has been using that language for a while, and she’s almost won the presidency twice at this point, France, like the US, Canada, and a good portion of Europe has a growing fascist problem, and a lot of the funding and media that are causing that problem have ties to Russia as well as other Western Right wingers from the US, Canada, England, and Australia.

Uh oh, social credit system coming from…the same people who bitched the loudest about the social credit system?
