Tell that to Taiwan and Ukraine. Or go back and tell it to the entire eastern Europe, Afghanistan, Tibet etc.
I also guess most Cubans today would have wished Sovjet didn't interfere back in the day.
America and the west generally is prone to mindless self-flaggelation.
- crubier 5y agoTaiwan and Ukraine are neighbors of China and Russia respectively. Also, I didn’t talk about the Soviet Union which disappeared 30years ago. But about Russia, who does not spend trillions in wars halfway round the globe. Imagine China having occupied (and largely destroyed) 2 separate European countries for the past 15years. Or Russia having occupied two separate Latin American countries for the past 15years. Clearly the level of interventionism of the US is unmatched.
- eitland 5y agoUpvoted. Still, one major difference: US always left. Taiwan can forget about their freedom forever if China occupies it. Eastern Europe only got out because USSR collapsed.
