French president delivers veiled warning to Beijing during speech in Singapore.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned China that NATO could become more deeply involved in Asia if Beijing does not do more to stop North Korea from taking part in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
“North Korea in Ukraine is a big question for all of us. If China doesn’t want NATO to be involved in Southeast Asia, it should prevent [North Korea] from being engaged on European soil,” Macron said Friday during an address at a major defense summit in Singapore.
Is the plan to kill some more millions of southeast Asians like good ol’ days
I… don’t think so? I’m pretty sure they’ll just be a thorn in China’s side like they are in Russia’s.
Yup. https://medium.com/tdebeus/why-the-u-s-is-so-insanely-popular-in-vietnam-even-after-a-devastating-war-b33cf6ba63ce
It is, hence the downvotes. Liberals look at what we did to North Korea and Vietnam during the war and think “we should’ve gone harder bc they’re evil communists”. Also apparently they just don’t give a shit about trying not to start another world war
I don’t think Americans and Europeans know how much invasions into southeast Asia in the 1800s and prior there were. It’s not a post-WW2 thing. It’s centuries of atrocities in the region. Someday the UK are going to be grandstanding against India too and people out here will be confused why Indians aren’t wistfully looking back to the days of the British empire exporting foods by coercion while Indians go through famines
Everyone’s knows this and looking back to something that happened 200 years ago trying to make it relevant to today’s politics is laughable to say the least.
China is clearly showing its imperial ambitions. Remember Tibet? Somehow tankies convenient forget it even with monks literally burning themselves to get attention they get none.
Tankies perceive the old Tibet like the West perceives Iran, as an abusive Theocracy. That changes the evaluation.
Europeen colonialism was changed to neoimperialism https://youtu.be/36vYRkVYeVw
I have Irish heritage. That’s literally why my family emigrated to the US
