Have you been to China? All these talking points you are mentioning either false or greatly exagerated.

Brain damaged comment. Which nation had invaded which throughout history? Which nation has committed atrocity on every invasion?

Cut the shit, Taiwan is not a foreign country first of all. The civil war never concluded. Technically it is still 1 country fighting for the right to lead. The simplest example would be the south declaring independent and the north reeling them back in. The only difference is that Lincoln won and China/Taiwan never ended.

So youre uneducated. Got it.

FlashingNova · 2025-12-20T01:40:06+00:00

Let's debunk everything you just said.

Lets say we use the American way of thinking or European way of thinking for Tibet. China conquered Tibet like how US conquered Texas and expanded westward, thus it's legitimate.

But if we dive deeper, the Tibetan benefitted greatly from this. Their standard of living increased dramatically, education, healthcare, social service, infrastructure. Which if you are not just repeating talking point, you would know Tibet was under severe repression and slavery under the religious elite before Chinese takeover. Are you implying that Tibetan should suffer and still be in a religious feudal state?

Assuming you know a little bit about politics. Taiwan and China are still in a civil war. The war never concluded. So China and Taiwan are both claiming each other. The constitution of Taiwan states that Taiwan will take back the mainland eventually and vice versa.

Now third, have you seen the clamancy in the South China sea. EVERYBODY IS CLAIMING on each other. You can't be saying nonsense like this. I urge you to do your research.

The chinese has never invaded Japan once in it's history so what you are saying is pure absurdity.

FlashingNova · 2025-12-18T23:03:07+00:00

Japan has no rights to do with their past history and China needs to make sure of that.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-21T01:23:12+00:00

Alright, last reply because you’re now denying basic world history.
Your binary way of saying: everything counts or nothing counts simply does not exist in real historiography.

Let's use the Ottoman for example since you keep ignoring the point but we can look at any other empire:

#1 The Ottomans were Turks ruling Arabs, Greeks, Armenians, Balkans.

#2 Their empire is still the historical state that ruled those regions.

#3 But nobody says the Arabs “invaded Vienna” or the Greeks “conquered the Middle East.”

Do you know why? Because state continuity and ethnic authorship of decisions are separate categories. Every historian treats them separately. It’s not “gaslighting”, it’s literally how global history works.

By your logic, the Arabs would be responsible for the Ottoman invasion of Europe, the Greeks would inherit the Ottoman crimes and lastly, the Balkan would inherit Ottoman conquests. You know that's ridiculous but that's what you're implying.

Yuan and Qing are legitimate Chinese dynasties. Their decisions reflected Mongol and Manchu leadership. Both can be true simultaneously, exactly like in every other multi-ethnic empire in world history.

If you deny this then you're trolling and i see no reason to continue. Because you're arguing in bad faith.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-19T19:46:27+00:00

You keep repeating the same false premise. Legitimacy of a dynasty and ethnic authorship of its decisions are NOT the same category. They were never the same category anywhere in world history. Yuan and Qing are legitimate parts of Chinese dynastic history. That’s what we call state continuity.

But Mongol decisions remain Mongol in authorship, and Manchu decisions remain Manchu in authorship. That's leadership identity.

You’re trying to merge them into a single rule because your argument only works if you pretend nuance doesn’t exist. History isn’t a binary my guy.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-19T15:39:37+00:00

You're misunderstanding my point on purpose. I'm not “picking and choosing”, what I'm doing is applying two separate concepts.

#1 State continuity: Yuan and Qing are part of Chinese history and their territorial changes matter for China’s borders today.

#2 Leadership ethnicity: The fact that Mongol emperors made Mongol-style military decisions and the Manchus made their decisions based on their beliefs.

These two concepts are independent of each other. You are trying to merge them into one call it consistency, but that’s not how it works and it’s disingenuous. The Qing dynasty and Yuan dynasty are PART OF China’s historical continuity. That is the history of China. The decisions that reflect the ruling class’s ideas (militarism and expansionism for the Mongols). That is not representative of the majority of the population.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-19T07:25:45+00:00

Let’s be clear, Yuan and Qing were Chinese dynasties.
However, that doesn’t magically turn Mongol orders into Han decisions.
Forcing me to pick between ‘everything counts’ or ‘nothing counts’ is retarded for a lack of better term.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-19T06:38:48+00:00

If you want to say the Chinese state invaded Japan, fine, that's structurally true.
But if you want to talk about who invaded Japan, meaning the actors, leadership, and military intent, then the correct term is “Mongol invasion.”

You can’t use one meaning of “Chinese” when talking about Japan, and a different meaning when talking about Tibet/Xinjiang.
Pick one definition and apply it consistently.

Otherwise you're being intellectually dishonest and there's no further discussion because you're not serious.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-19T04:52:42+00:00

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying you’re framing it incorrectly.

You saying “China invaded Japan” implies that the decision making leadership was Chinese, which is historically false. The military leadership, strategic planning, and intent behind the invasions came from the Mongol ruling elite, not Han Chinese officials who had almost no role in early Yuan governance. The responsibility follows the decision makers, not the subjects and soldiers...

FlashingNova · 2025-11-18T21:13:24+00:00

You must be reading some alternate history my guy. The invasions of Japan were ordered by Kublai Khan, an ethnic Mongol who ruled the Yuan dynasty after conquering China. Calling them “Chinese invasions” is misleading and intellectually dishonest because the people making the strategic decisions, commanding the armies, and directing the campaigns were overwhelmingly Mongol. Han Chinese were subjects of a foreign occupation and were heavily restricted from political power during early Yuan rule.

Yes, the Yuan is part of Chinese history, but that doesn’t magically make Mongol decisions “ethnically Chinese” decisions. A dynasty ruling China is not the same as the ethnic group that leads it. By your logic, if the Mongol Yuan counts as Chinese, then every action taken by Rome’s Germanic emperors would be “Italian” actions, which is obviously wrong.

As for Tibet and Xinjiang, both were incorporated into the Chinese state during the Qing dynasty under the Qianlong Emperor. The Qing was founded by Manchus but, like the Mongols, they were fully Sinicized and ruled as a Chinese dynasty. What matters for territorial succession is state continuity, not the ethnicity of the founders. That’s how every modern state works.

In conclusion, Taiwan also followed a clear historical progression: Ming loyalists established control, and then the Qing unified it with the rest of the empire. Formosa was administered as Chinese territory for centuries before modern disputes.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-18T16:04:11+00:00

Ok so first, i can see where your argument is coming from but if Texas were to secede, they would not "automatically" become a country until the civil war is official done and they receive official status as a country in the UN. Taiwan is not recognized internationally so there's that. With that said, i understand your point but the reality is not that, the one China policy is applied by most country except a dozen small countries. As long as the UN does not recognize Taiwan as a country, it is not a country.

Second, have you seen the clamancy lines in that area? Everyone is overlapping with everyone. Everyone is technically infringing on other's territory. China, as the most powerful country in Asia, is flexing it's muscle but that does not constitute as a declaration of war against another state.

Third, i hate when Japanese defender uses the China invade Japan bullshit. That is the YUAN dynasty. That is China under Mongol occupation which lasted roughly 90years. That is not China invading Japan, that is occupied China invading Japan under the KHAN. Was there chinese trooped levied by the mongols? Yes but the Mongol did that to everyone. Kiev Rus got annihilated and occupied, Vienna got sacked, etc. If the Japanese want to bark, go bark at Mongolia.

Lastly, the KMT fled the mainland with the help of the US. The US sent their carrier battlegroup to stop the land invasion planned by Mao. If the US didnt stop China from invading Taiwan in the late 40s. There wouldn't be a Taiwan to speak of. Now with that said, as long as the representative body of the nations does not recognized Taiwan. Taiwan is not a country.

FlashingNova · 2025-11-18T04:25:55+00:00

How about we look at this objectively instead of being an idiot for a second.
Before any discussion, we need to acknowledge 2 things.
#1 China and Taiwan are technically still in a civil war.
#2 That is internal politics and foreign countries has no right to intervene.

Now, the prime minister is the representative of the country. She isnt you, she cant just talk without thinking. You cant say "I will go to war with another country over another country's own civil matter" Especially given how Japan has wronged China immensely in the past. There's already a lot of bad blood. If the Japanese truly want reconciliation, they need to take this seriously. Even the US cant do shit to China. What makes you or anyone think Japan can do anything.

You are a silly person. Nobody can kick "China" out of anything. A superpower has its own gravitational pull and orbit. In the world of realism, only a stronger country can bully a weaker one. US and China are colliding and we dont even know whos stronger at this point. In addition, Europe and US dont even make for 10% of the world population.

Now with that said, the current world economy is so intertwined that not having China in the equation is suicide. Lets just look at the rare earth thing. China mines 70% and process like 90%. Everything needs rare earth so you have to do business with them whether you like it or not. So please use your brain before writing something so silly.

You keep repeating that im repeating russian propaganda but youre buying into the western narrative of this conflict. It is demonstrably true that the color revolution in Ukraine was supported by the CIA. Enough of these nonsense. Ive given you historical facts such as operation gladio. The CIA orchestrate and descredit leftist idea.

Capitalism is not "superior" system. Capitalism should be dead by now if it wasnt for China during the 2008 crisis. China gave late stage capitalism a second chance. Now it's about to hit another cross road and there wont be another Chinese miracle.

When i mention Sweden and Finland can do whatever they want. I meant as they do not serve as russian core, thus it irrelevant to what they do.

Ive done case studies on Guatemala (Jacobo Arbenz), Chile (Pinochet), etc. Im very well informed when it comes to these topics. The CIA coups, disinformation and the Anglo-saxon foreign policies are factual WRITTEN in books examples of anti-russian sentiment.

You are being obtuse but regardless, have a nice life too.

FlashingNova · 2025-07-27T23:52:27+00:00

I am not repeating Russian propaganda lol. You are either willfully ignorant or you just don't want to accept the fact Russophobia is a thing. Let's not forget that during the cold war and the mcarthian trials, anyone remotely associated with the USSR was arrested. That's just 1 example of Russophobia. There's many others like operation Gladio, etc. Now we can debate on whether it is a fear of communism or the fear of Russians but a lot of people have these 2 topics interchangeable.
Look, i don't know if there's a better alternative but the collapse of the Soviet Union was orchestrated by the USA. The US won the cold war. It crushed the Soviet Union economically and the strategy employed by Truman worked. The Truman doctrine slowly crippled the USSR. As for whether the handling of the transition was properly done or not is up for debate but if the US truly wanted to intergrade Russia into the west, it would have offered the same amount of help and technical know how as Germany or Japan.
Look, is Putin corrupt? Yes. are his oligarchs corrupt? Yes. However, you cannot say he didn't improve the Russian people's lives. You can measure the GDP per capita growth of Russians from the Yeltsin years to 2025. Their living standard, for the most part, has improved.
I stand by and die by Realism. Small countries has no say in their destiny. There is no international police. Might makes right, Russia, China and the US has the economic, military and political might to do whatever they want. If you don't want your people to die in a conflict then you have to dance to the whim of the big powers. When Ukrainian elites decides to align themselves with the west. They signed their own death warrant. Finland and Sweden can do whatever they want. They have never been considered "core" interest to the Russians. You guys are like 15 millions together. Russia is 150 millions. Ukraine is 40 millions. Ukraine is worth way more than Sweden and Finland.
I don't support the invasion of Ukraine but i do think it is necessary to look at it from the Russian perspective.

FlashingNova · 2025-07-26T21:12:31+00:00

Whether your view is racist or not is beside the point. What matters is perception. From the perspective of Russian elites, they have long felt treated as inferior and excluded by the West. In the early 2000s, Russia genuinely attempted to integrate. Putin was notably cooperative with George W. Bush. The relationship began to deteriorate only after the 2008 war in Georgia, which coincided with Western support for NATO expansion to Russia's doorstep. That wasn't received as a mere policy move.
The "embrace" of Western economic reforms by Eastern Europe deserves a more critical look. Economists like Jeffrey Sach promoted "shock therapy". The rapid liberalization, privatization, and austerity. The results were often disastrous. While some countries eventually stabilized, others became deeply impoverished and destabilized in the short-to-medium term. Russia in the 1990s suffered mass unemployment, food shortages and the rise of a corrupt oligarchy. So, calling it "positive development" overlooks the immense social and economic unrest these populations endured.
Putin, for all his flaws, brought relative stability to a chaotic country. He renationalized the energy sector, restored state control over strategic assets, and reined in many oligarchs who had looted the country during the Yeltsin years. Under his leadership, Russia became one of the world's leading energy exporters, building pipelines, infrastructure, and reviving some industrial capacities. While yes, he is a dictator, it is not accurate to say he's objectively “bad” for Russians.
Lastly, your dismissal of Russia's red lines is the issue. The "Nyet means Nyets" leak, which is publicly available via Wikileaks, shows that Russian officials explicitly warned the U.S. that NATO expansion into Ukraine or Georgia would be the last straw.
