It's always worth noting that a lot of the things Russia and China do as part of their political agenda are spurred by a perception that THE WEST is a monolithic force that is opposed to them, and they need to defend themselves against aggression. And one of the reasons why they always scoff when we try to criticize them on the basis of civil rights is because they're fully aware of how full of shit we are when we do it. The Chinese declare sovereignty over a particular patch of sea, the US and British immediately fly plans over the disputed territory as if to say "lolno". And then the Chinese look out across that water, and they see South Korea and Japan as strong US allies, along with Taiwan as a constant thorn in their side, ringing them in. Now imagine how the US would perceive things if the Chinese put military bases in Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and Mexico and started sending Chinese planes flying over US shipping lanes just off our coast. We'd be nuking Beijing by noon tomorrow. Perspective is a funny thing. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
