Actually it's quite easy to predict! We can simply look at the track record of Western intervention since WW2, see that it comes down so squarely on the side of "please USA just leave the world alone, my god" that it achieves the platonic definition of a square, then call it a day.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhy exclude WW2?
- ahelwer 6y agoI'm assuming you're saying this because you want to compare China to Nazi Germany, which is strange when the USSR is a much more apt comparison that existed in the postwar period.
- emteycz 6y agoWhy do you think so? China is acting very much like Nazis in many cases. That they both call themselves communists doesn't mean much, actions matter.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI'm just curious about people's reasoning whenever they cherrypick arbitrary start/end dates
- ahelwer 6y agoWW2 marked the birth of America as global superpower, as it was the only developed nation to have its infrastructure basically untouched by the war.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoMaybe you shouldn't assume. Maybe you should take Rebelgecko's question at face value, and actually answer it. If you're going to claim that the rest of the world just wants the US to leave it alone, why exclude World War II?
- throwawaybumeer 6y agoI wonder if Disjunctive Consulting would appreciate you working for them knowing how much you hate the US. Why not just move back to Canada?
- emteycz 6y agoThere are parts of the world like eastern Europe that would've liked US intervention, on the other hand.
