Feels like back in the 90's people were a bit more chill and didn't go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

The way American officials managed to alienate their own handpicked puppets like that is astounding.

I'm going to say it's probably ego. Look at how easy Australia folds to their every whim, for example.

They didn't realise that trying that with a powerful country might back fire. Especially because they did tried to debt trap Russia after the cold war
