      How did you know her? I knew her as terrorisor of the middle east and I’m pretty sure that’s still true.

        For me she was a bully and destroyer of anyone at home and abroad who tried to build a decent socialist society so they could steal resources and who gaslit us into thinking “capitalism is the best system we’ve got”.

          Don’t you guys call this ‘whataboutism’? Anyways, I’m less concerned with China than the US since China hasn’t dropped a single bomb in decades while the US drops dozens a day in the middle east.

              China testing missiles is really not comparable to the US bombing the Middle East dozens times a day.

                im sorry but i think you are misunderstanding the pacific geopolitical play here.

                i am just weary that any super power is going to fuel instability in strategic locations.

                also i didnt compare it to the middle east, was just correcting the fact that china ‘has not bombed in decades’

                  The US is the largest cause of instability in literally every region in the world. Just because you’re afraid of another country taking over the role of destabilising other countries does not mean you should defend the US doing it. It’s the same excuse Israeli’s use to genocide the Palestinians ‘because otherwise the Palestinians will genocide us back’. It’s a standpoint that’s based purely on racism, not on facts.

                    again, i never defended a fascist country, just tried to inform that china (another fascist country) is also dropping bombs. Im sorry you feel the need to argue a point i never mentioned.

            I’m saying you have no choice. It’s us or China. Cold hard facts. You’re fucked. We all are. You’re more fucked than you were before.

          What a baby back bitch comment. How do you think the Middle East has been enjoying American hegemony? You think it’s cool to have American bombs dropped on your children?

          Americans are such pussies. They have ALL THE SMOKE for any other nation, but refuse to acknowledge or even consider that America does MORE. You said it yourself, America is the hegemon, and look at the state of the world.

          This is why Trump wins, patriotism and blind support like you have.

      I’m a transwoman who’s always felt like a stranger in her own hometown. I’ve never known an America that did anything but claim to be about freedom and strongarm people who were dumb enough to believe them.
