        Well, we can work towards changing that, and judging by this article we’re well on the way it seems.

      But assuming that one has to be dominant, which would you choose of the ones that are realistic possibilities?

            Everyone is not like UK or USA.

            So you are okay with living under extreme censorship? Not being able to talk about Tienamin Square, etc? Okay with being complicit in atrocities like Tibet, and inevitably Taiwan if unopposed?

            Oh nevermind, if this is your politics. No room for exchange is left I think. Giving benefit of doubt almost always backfires.

              Interesting for you to fold under even the first question to explain your position, but so be it.

            All 3 have, what are you smoking? The US is one of the most imperialistic nations on Earth. That’s not to say Russia and China aren’t either, but to pretend the US didn’t forcibly annex territories is to wash away the centuries of genocide and Conquest as “okay” because it was done successfully and more than a few years ago.

              Do you consider things which happened hundreds of years ago to be of the same weight as things that are happening as we speak?

                Do you consider things which happened merely decades ago, even up to hundreds of years ago, have lasting impact on generations that follow?

                If you successfully do Imperialism, such that the colonized can no longer resist, does that erase the sin?
