Basing ones argument on points that are clearly made with rose tinted glasses doesn’t make for convincing or constructive debates.
By rose tinted I mean, to name but a few points, Completely ignoring The other nations of bordering the South China Sea and their claims and ignoring Ukraine sovereignty because of historic borders, and ignoring the fact that china literally is creating land to expand their 12nm radius around disputed shoals.
Why did you gloss over all that? It doesn’t feel like an objective assessment when those substantial and important facts are just completely ignored. And bringing up the number of dashes shown on maps while ignoring the actual issues, why!?!?!?
Both for Russia and China, yeah sure viewed with that style of rose tinted glasses then sure you’re right about everything.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI'm not ignoring Ukraine border. I think they have sovereignty. I'm generally against separatism, which is why I think Crimea should have stayed with Ukraine. Same thing for China, they definitely have disputes in the SCS and their position is untenable. I just don't see how you go from that to saying that WW3 is imminent. These kinds of things are more or less par for the course in geopolitics. All in all all of these things have lead to less instability and death than the first few months of the Iraq war, and that was far from WW3 too.
