Correct. Glad you understand that.
Well, to be more specific, it's imperialism, and the US has been the core of the imperial core since WW2. It was the UK before that.
Typical nonsense fascist apologia for colonialism and imperialism. The last conflict in the region was 1400 fucking years ago. Can Chinese Americans and Indian Americans go to those countries and claim them? What an idiotic thing to say.
"Israel" is simply a western colony in Palestine. Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named "Colonization Commission", "Jewish Colonial Trust" and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called "zionism", was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
That's exactly what's happening right now. Except the US has become the empire's core now rather than the UK.
Just like the US! It's almost like liberal "democracies" aren't democratic in the first place and only serves as a tool for imperialism and inevitably leads to rise in fascism when in decay (currently happening in Europe, like Italy and Germany, again).
Correct. The ROC fled the mainland after the PRC managed to finally overthrow them. They went to Taiwan, killed the local population in the White Terror, and currently serves as a military outpost for the US (hey it's the US again) imperialism.
As opposed to the genocide of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine (which started the current war), including Donbas and Crimea after the US-backed (huh US again, wonder what this article is about) fascist coup in 2014 because they resisted the coup gov, because those aren't warcrimes ig?
These were the results of the 2010 elections.
Eastern Ukrainians don't support the current fascist gov, and even welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.
Edit: Also
"We"? Are you a US government agent? Or are you under the false assumption that this capitalist government actually represents you? Does it? And do you approve of the genocide it's committing in Palestine right now if it does?
