This is how it feels to live in the imperial core and periphery ๐Ÿ’€

Seriously, especially this part:

The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.

This is 1:1 how they act about China, Russia, etc., whoever is among the current "enemies" of the day. Meanwhile, the "enemies" of the western empire are often like: "we're willing to co-exist and strive for peace, you warmongering fucks, can you stop ceaselessly bombing and bullying everything and everyone, wtf."
