> Sure we do. All the time. I gave you a few examples, please do share instances of rewriting the History of the "Western Worlds" - again, whatever that means. But I have a feeling you're soon going to find yourself in a pickle. > Or it started in 1931 according to the chinese. Rightfully so, the difference was that the Chinese weren't allies of Japan invading other countries... Like the USSR allied with Nazi Germany, and be an active part on the hostilities and genocide, right? It's like the same thing Germany denied WW2 ever happened. > Because the west hasn't expanded by force? When? Where? Who? Tell me a "Western Country" that expanded by Force since the founding of the UN - because, you know, that was kind of the point of it. > And that's why the western world hasn't invaded dozens of countries since. Right? Of course it has, or do you think just because of the founding of the UN countries got a green card to commit genocide and invade neighbors? Like Serbia, or Saddam's Iraq? > So you are defending the unipolar world? The same unipolar world maintained by force? Where did I say I defend a unipolar world? I'm saying the world is already multipolar - it's like all of a sudden the last 30+ years of global trade, alliances and investments never happened. It's especially funny coming from China, or from Russia who thrived with this multipolar world.

> Like the USSR allied with Nazi Germany Was there another Germany at that time so you have to specify which Germany do you mean? I understand saying South Korea, because there are two.

  This is very interesting: why are you bothered by me using the Historical name for Nazi Germany[0]? Would you prefer that I used "German Reich" instead of "Nazi Germany", to be more accurate? [0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany)

    Just Germany is fine, like every other country. Historical Germany name is Germany or Reich not Nazi Germany. Germany had German soldiers speaking German language, not Nazi soldiers speaking Nazi language.

      Ah yes, let's omit the defining factor of Nazi Germany which wasn't the same before WWI - and in case you didn't know - was not the same after WW2. > Historical Germany name is Germany Right, there was no such thing Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, just "Germany"? Right? Literally, two different countries, which were different from Nazi Germany, which was different from the German Empire. Yet to you, this is all the same. I'm struggling with where you're trying to get to with this one. Is it a new propaganda spin? The "Let's ignore History, and how things are called" because you're bothered by Historically referring to Nazi Germany as Nazi Germany? Like the Russian propaganda addressing British People as "Anglo-Saxons"? I'm assuming your goal is to bring clarity to History, and not confusion right wink wink? Well unlike you, I agree with the Historical designations, and it's important to bring clarity, so I see no problem in saying: the USSR was an ally of Nazi Germany.

        Why only Germany has that magical defining factor that you must use? Why not Japan, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, plenty of other that were different? For people in Europe Germany was just Germany, they didn't know the word Nazi exists. It is only after WW2 German government coined a new name for it's country to blame everything that was done during WW2 on that other country.

        > Why only Germany has that magical defining factor that you must use? It's not me who must use it, it's everyone but you. And just because you're ignorant in this matter, you don't have to try to bring everyone down to that level. Another basic example: Imperial Russia =/= USSR =/= Russian Federation Different regimes, different borders, different policies. That's how History works. It might not be convenient to you, and for your propaganda purposes, but it doesn't bend reality. We know Russia likes to distance itself from their own atrocities, like Holodomor. The difference is that Germany took all the load from Nazi Germany and it's out in the public for everyone to see. Russia has been rewriting History so many times trying to cherry-pick the good parts and hide the bad parts, that Russian society at this point doesn't know if they miss the USSR or if they hate it for the misery it brought on them. They don't know if Stalin was good or bad, even though the regime is trying to rehabilitate him.
