- mc32 9y agoAll of the ones you did mention did follow self determination. Otherwise it's saying the US didn't follow self determination, because we had to fight the British. Or the USSR didn't follow self determination because the actively had to counter the US and the west. No, i think all those mentioned did follow self determination, ultimately. But now the people who championed it no longer denounce imperialism but instead promote a new imperialism, globalization.
- oculusthrift 9y agoi mean the us never really supported self determination when it was at odds with self interest
