  • I am sure you can provide sufficiently strong evidence to shoulder your burden of proof? Because the US, the state with the most extensive espionage systems and dozens of secret services could not.

    If you claim China is commiting genocide provide the evidence. You made the claim, you have to provide the evidence, that is how ther burden of proof works. Said evidence must withstand scrutiny, of course. Anyone can make up official looking bullshit.





  • Nah it would be better.

    Of course you are operating under the childish assumption that either of them would act like the USA, which is nonsense. Neither ever did so in their history. Russia was always happy to stay to itself and be secure, that meant you had a great neighbour and trade partner if you did not fuck with it. China could have conquered most of its neighbours multiple times it its history, but rarely ventured out of what are now the chinese borders, historically extremely defensive and trade oriented.

    meanwhile the USA has been at peace for less than 15 years during its entire history. Of all those wars, almost all were ones of aggression.

    You compare two sane people to a frothing berserker yelling “MAIM! KILL! BURN! LOOT!” ad infinitum.

    Ah yes, famous invasions during the 90s. Where NATO expanded a shitload after promising not to.

    Also your knowledge of these events is lackluster. Gerogia attacked Russia, not the other way around (one couldsay Russia over reacted, but that does not change the fact who initiated hostilities). Chechnya was a civil war (a country can’t invade itself). Crimea seceeded. So all of your examples are wrong.

    Oh and Russia asked to join NATO in the eaely 2000s. Got denied.

    IF you want to go further back it gets even better. NATO was founded before the Warsaw Treaty Org, the latter was founded after the USSR asked to join NATO and was denied.

    You are correct that NATO is a anti soviet/anti russian alliance, but not for the reasons you think.
