Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

It’s so frustrating trying to talk to Americans about foreign policy. Most recently, we have all these stories about China stopping western warplanes from entering Chinese territory being spun as Chinese aggression. As if flying armed jets less than 100 miles off the coast of a country you threaten on a near-daily basis isn’t threatening them. No one even questions why these jets are flying so near Chinese airspace. What business does a Canadian jet have off the coast of China, other than to threaten and intimidate? I mean, the most recent one was literally on a mission to intimidate North Korea. Fucking frustrating.

It is the incapability of putting yourself in other shoes, i.e. solidarity.

They either can't comprehend that flying bombers directly into a territory and turning back at the last possible moment is provocation, or they know its provocation but they just argue in bad faith.

Btw they do this every single year against the DPRK, but they're the crazy warmongers!

To be fair it is difficult to put yourself in other shoes when they are being thrown at your face because of all the war crimes you did
