Dude I hate the US political system. But the US beats the hell out of China any day of the week. Attempting to draw any comparison that suggests the US is acting more irresponsibly than China is insulting at best.
Taiwan. Hong Kong. Tiananmen Sqaure Massacre.
dawg listing those three things in the face of shit like Vietnam / Iraq / Afghanistan / Israel is so fucking funny like how do you dipshits not realize how out of proportion that shit is even if we were to go full CIA history on China. You have so little awareness of actual Chinese history that you end up supporting the loser slave holding fascists of the Chinese civil war lmao.
Go read something like Killing Hope and maybe you can avoid moments like this in the future. One of the first chapters is about how the US participated in the Chinese civil war. On the slave holder side of course. The KMT, after it became clear that they were still going to lose even with US support then fled to and established what we now call Taiwan, massacred the indigenous population, and now get the support of clueless libs like yourself who somehow think they are standing for human rights or some shit.
Lots of assumptions in that comment.
