    “Literally everything that happens on the world stage is the fault of America.”

    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.

    Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting each other since the Hebrews and the Philistines. David and Goliath 3,000 years ago. We’re trying, but this shit is complicated, and the current leader of Israel is a bloodthirsty madman.

    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:

    “We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

    That’s exactly what’s happening right now. Except the US has become the empire’s core now rather than the UK.

    Taiwan is the last outpost of the pre-communist Chinese government.

    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 US (hey it’s the US!) imperialism.

    Russia invaded Ukraine and has been committing warcrimes

    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, but those aren’t warcrimes ig?

    This was the results of the 2010 elections for example.

    Eastern Ukrainians don’t support the current gov, and even welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.
