With the officiating in your back pocket its astounding you never score.
I leave and come back to see legion has managed to get someone to debate the merits of ethnic concentration camps like it's a thing.
You think millions of Muslims in camps is a bad thing?
Doubtful. As I said, the Politburo and command structure would be destroyed.

Doubtful. As I said, the Politburo and command structure would be destroyed. I believe the rank and file Chinese people would welcome the end of the Communist regime.
Muslims are more often victims than perpetrators of oppression, and violence.
Because of USA failure we are here.
A.) Potsdam, Yalta & Tehran Conferences empowered Soviets into China's Communists, into North Korea, and Vietnam.
B.) Nixon's free trade with China, empowered China to grow economically.
Its true. Nixon believed opening China up would eventually lead to an end of the Communist regime. I didn't. Just made them a world economic and now military power.
Muslims are more often victims than perpetrators of oppression, and violence.
- Muslim camps in China.
- Rohingya Genocide.
- Srbenica Massacre.
- 2020 Delhi riots
- Yemen terror famine by USA / Saudi Blockade.
- USA wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc.
Yes, and no. What I see is greater power that wishes to pacify to maintain the superstructure through conventional means, and lesser power who wishes to throw it off but uses barbaric asymmetric means.
I do not accept the view that the end result in either case would be more preferential. In fact, I truly believe the western model is superior.
I believe in liberal democracy and a rules based order. I do not believe that terrorists can fulfill their mission were they to impose it. They would be tyrants
and murderers and subjugate women and deprive vote (not unlike republicans)
I'm an Obamacrat
Yes, totally true.
but Soviets developed Nukes AFTER USA had.
Potsdam Conference was BEFORE Soviets had nukes.
But
Potsdam Conference was AFTER USA tested Nukes.
Potsdam allowed Soviets & Stalin the butcher into most of Central & all of Eastern Europe.
The truth is Truman, and Churchill could have threatened Soviets with Nukes & war.
Instead, we allowed them to get Nukes.
Therefor they are also accomplices in the Cold War.
They might. But I doubt they would take kindly to us killing millions of their fellow Chinese.
General Patton was right. He wanted to go after the Soviets right after WW2, while they were still weakened from the war. At least kick them out of eastern Europe.
And MacArthur wanted to nuke the Red ChiComs, but DEMOCRAT Truman was too much of a pussy to do it.

Such a great scene
Truman instead killed a lot of Japanese civilians, but helped Communism to spread.
FDR's administration was infested with Reds.

FDR was more of a Fascist than a Communist.
So you say.
FDR's administration was infested with Reds.
