Burgerland already occupies part of Cuban territory, so the invasion is just frozen at this point.

I find the fact that these people don't even bother hiding what their actual goals are is the most phenomenal part. People just keep pretending how it's all about human rights or some bullshit, but here he is just straight up explaining exactly what's going on. The video getting taken down is pretty funny though. There goes my freeze peach!

And will you just look at all the blood thirsty libs piling on this. Fighting to the last Ukrainian is the only way the west will accept this war ending.

That's right, the grotesque excuse for a civilization that the rabid dogs in the west built is coming to an end.

Posting racist images online is not a meaningful expression of freedom, as anybody with a functioning brain would understand. Here's what actual tangible freedom looks.

The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China%E2%80%99s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4

From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&amp%3Blocations=CN&amp%3Bstart=2008

By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html

You were very clearly making a false equivalence there, trying to say that China is just differently bad from the US. All the oppression exists in the minds of western liberals who guzzle propaganda uncritically. Meanwhile, censorship exists everywhere, it's absolutely hilarious that westerners think that they got the level of censorship right while everyone else got it wrong. It's a perfect example of people suffering from anchoring bias thinking the rules of a society they grew up in is the natural default.

Polling in Taiwan shows that your statement is false. Simple as that.

The overwhelming majority of people in Taiwan want to maintain the status quo. The desire for Taiwanese independence has experienced a significant drop over the past three years, with only 25.3% of people who want to “move toward independence” or seeking “independence as soon as possible” - down from nearly one-third - 32.4% - in 2020.

What's more, that's despite US interference in Taiwan politics and media which is very well documented. US has poured countless millions into shaping the opinions of the people in Taiwan through orgs like NED, it directly grooms US politicians such as Tsai Ing-Wen. This is what's known as cultural hegemony.

China is lifting people out of poverty, building out infrastructure, and transitioning to clean energy at breakneck speed. In minds of some people that's equivalent to being a serial killer. This is the state of western intellect.

Except China isn't doing imperialism as anybody who's not an ignoramus guzzling US propaganda would know.
