Do you think those situations are comparable?
Is the threat of nuclear war between China and the US comparable to the threat of nuclear war between the US and the USSR?
Perhaps a more comparable situation is between the UK or US and Nazi Germany in the mid thirties?
It would have been a terrible idea to embark on shared technological and exploratory expeditions with Nazi Germany in the 30s.
- pjc50 6y agoThe big parallel with Nazi Germany could I suppose be the coziness between the elites; all the way from little details like the Germans copying British foxhunting to King Edward VIII having a fascist spy as a girlfriend. However, Germany was explicitly trying to be a colonial expansionist. Having run out of unconquered countries in Africa, all that was left to enslave was Eastern Europe. Chinese expansionism seems much more limited.
