    That’s quite an imaginative perspective

    No, it isn’t. It doesn’t require imagination at all. If you want something that requires a crap-ton of imagination, go see the narratives the US has been spinning about the (so-called) “Cold War” - you have to be pretty high on “westernism” to buy any of it.

      it sort of does, after all pre WW2 there weren’t two massive “communist” states (let’s be honest they were as communist as Germany during WW2) that had a tendency to try and expand via military means

        The expansionism of the USSR and the PRC, while certainly extant, is still kindergarten stuff in comparison with even the earliest of the European colonialist empires - never mind the utterly psychotic control-fetish with nukes that is the US.

          damn, to literally see: Britain did it worse and “we need more world ending weapons”

          tell me how does the “anti-imperialist” imperial boot taste, tankie?

                Oh, look… the bootlickers are still projecting.

                I’d yawn… but I’m fresh out.
