SA is about to be in the middle of a Russian propaganda coup around an 'unstoppable' weapon

Whatever Japan and China were doing is none off America's business.

Japan had no business interfering in China.

By the way: point 10:

The Covenant of the League of Nations | UN GENEVA

And China had a right to ask for help and did ask for it in 1931.

America chose to involve itself in someone else's war. They play world police. That's all I said.

Nope. Japan had no right to attack anyone either. They chose to bomb Pearl Harbor, they chose war.

Exactly what resources does Hawaii have that the Japanese wanted?

The ships to prevent Japan from taking the pacific archipelago's (Is that word a bit big for you?) resources.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

You have claimed both those things independently.
I'm giving you the option to make up your mind.

Oh, dear. Your miscomprehension may be due to that double medium school you attended. I attended a dual medium school.

I don't knoww

When Perry came to Tokyo in the 19th century he came with an ultimatum and a veiled threat of force for Japan to open up or get licked. He returned a year later and the Japanese opened up. They had heard how easily the Europeans had been able to subjugate the Chinese, Indians and other people in Asia.
Japan modernized very quickly and based everything off European models (French, German, British etc) and when they defeated the Russians that gave them a boost of confidence which contributed to their aggression towards the European powers and also towards the Koreans, Chinese and others.

The Mongol Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries was the largest contiguous land empire in history. It conquered parts of Eastern Europe too,so I don't know where your east/west idea stems from.

Yes. What relevance does that have in the 21st century?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

If I stick to post-1991, all of those countries are either still suffering instability from interventions or are still under active sanctions crushing ordinary civilians. You could make a case that Vietnam recovered.

Have a chat with the UN then. Tell me how the countries with Russian invasions have fared? Why do you always omit that side of the coin?

You're the basement dweller, my little zama-zama.

One would assume that the Americans would have the worlds fastest missile.

I do suspect it. Though personally I think they give a greater priority to anti-missile tech. I think they're heavily invested in next gen laser weaponry. And with sufficiently powerful laser AA it doesn't really matter how fast a missile is. The challenge entirely in tracking - Which they are also fairly good at.

Some might think that's a joke, but even the 6th gen fighter they're currently working on is rumoured to have laser weaponry planned for it. Though of course. That could just be rumours. Would be some of their best kept secrets after all.

You must be new to this debate thing. YOU get to tell me how countries have fared relative to those disrupted by US forces:
Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cambodia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Serbia, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Philippines

How are the second-class citizens in Puerto Rico doing these days?

Why are you naming shithole countries?

 

[hexagon]

Why are you naming shithole countries?

You mean the ones specifically listed as having been invaded, disrupted or "regime-changed" by the U.S.?
How slow are you, exactly?

You can add Ukraine to the list, too...

90% are run by despots anyway so what's your point? Imagine a world without the USA for a second.

I stated in an earlier response in terms of modern times. The period you speak about was in medieval times.
Back in medieval times the difference in technology between East and West was not significant. In fact one would argue that in many regards the Asians were more advanced.

The defeat of Imperial Russia was a big deal for the Japanese and for the Russians too, it led to the 1905 Russian Revolution too.

Just to add, the Japanese defeated the Mongols when they landed but they were sh-t scared of Perry's ships cannons and the tales of subjugation of India, China etc by European powers.

Compare countries invaded by US soft power to their previous existence under Russia, in Eastern/Central Europe.

We can also look at South Korea vs North Korea. Cuba now vs previously. What Russia did to Ukraine in the 30s via the Holodomor. Etc. One can't compare the two.

He lives in a country which is still capitalist and mostly Western and enjoys Western benefits.

And I bet if we asked Cuban expats in the US they would disagree with him about Cuba. Don't you think there is something chauvinist to the approach that you listen to a dictator who destroyed a country, Fidel and Che, while actual Cubans who escaped including ones who have been escaping over the years in boats, are mostly anti-Communist.

Vietnam has probably more to fear from China and they after all had to fight the Chinese invasion and the Kampucheans. At the moment the Vietnamese are more friendly toward the US.
