Why don't we start with Afghanistan? The humanitarian situation there has been negatively effected by trade being cut off.
The sad thing is, parts of Lemmy might not dislike the Taliban, either.
Is this honestly how simplistically you see the world? You think that is analogous to what people are saying? Amazing.
I'm actually criticising how simplistic this argument is.
If you don't understand why we shouldn't let Trump and his posse bully anyone they like in the western hemisphere, you're more like CanadaMinus
Sure, let's be realistic and provoke an insane Fascist with a $1T military at his disposal.
What's he going to do, impose tarrifs?
Bomb the capital? Kidnap our leaders? Bomb boats randomly? He would never do that to another country, right?
Molon labe.
No way western propaganda makes it impossible to support any middle eastern country not already allied with the US.
Who mentioned the Middle East?
If you're going to white knight a country, at least be able to find it on a map.
Bordering the middle east my bad I don't care about colony borders made by racist white people in history.
Sure, like assuming Islam is a region isn't racist. At least the people that want to bomb (the fictional city of) Agrabah don't pretend to care about Muslims.
FWIW Iranians don't even love being lumped in with the Arabs. Afghanistan is culturally Persian, and closer to the central Asian steppe homelands and south Asia than to the Middle East.
Afghanistan also shares a border with China. Do you consider that a 'colony borders made by racist white people in history'?
Since history is full of white washing I stopped caring about history
Those who ignore history do so at their own peril, as it is bound to repeat itself.
To a good history student, they will go well beyond the whitewashing and seek the true history. It is the whitewashing that you should object to, not the history itself.
Wow, it actually does have a little panhandle squeaking past Tajikistan, I never noticed that. The fact it bordered the Soviet Union is also a big hint it may not be sunny and Mediterranean.
And, I mean, OP was the only one who brought the category up!
That little panhandle is what created the Uighur problem for China. The Americans dropped their most powerful bomb on the Taliban terrorist camps in the panhandle, who wanted to create a Uighur ISIS homeland in the panhandle independent of Afghanistan. So the Uighur ISIS terrorists fled to China, and the rest is history. The terrorists tried to make the Chinese side their own homeland, and used a ruthless terror campaign of bombings and killings to terrorize the local population, so they could make it an ISIS state. Unfortunately for them, the Chinese government had different ideas about them taking over the area. Mind you, Western news tells the story slightly differently, although the American bombing of innocent civilians in the panhandle is well documented.
