Whose interests would that benefit?
- rayiner 4y agoAsians?
- arroz 4y agoWhat asians?
- remarkEon 4y agoI think you'll have to be more specific than that. If your hangup is that this is yet another instance of Westerners attempting to decide the fate of a people on the otherside of the planet from them, I think we can grant that there isn't a stellar track record there. Still, ideal scenarios of perfect sovereignty don't exist in the real world and I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect e.g. Japan to ask for continued American involvement.
- kbelder 4y agoWell, some of them.
- loudmax 4y agoIt would benefit autocratic dictatorial Asians certainly, at the expense of Asian democracies. Those of us who believe in liberal democracy will need to stand up for it. We can no longer take it for granted, even at home.
- mcphage 4y agoWhat, like, all of them? Just across the board great outcomes for everyone in Asia?
