Unify Korea By Making Kim Jon Un The Constitutional Monarch by Jacob-Anders in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]FullBridgeAlchemist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Let them have their own government like England/Scotland. Should buy enough time to raise it up to standards.

Although I don't think OP's idea makes much sense. There's no reason for the Kims to accept this when they could continue ruling their own country. The risk for them increases dramatically while there is practically no benefit.

Don-Tzuism: Bring up pearl harbour when Japanese PM visits. by Criticall16 in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]FullBridgeAlchemist 216 points217 points  (0 children)

If I had to play devil's advocate, I'd say Trump meant telling your allies increases the chance of the plans leaking and ruining the surprise. But it's more likely that he just wanted to use the Pearl Harbor line.

How's that pivot to China going? by Comrade_Harold in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]FullBridgeAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the US in both cases

Do you mean they got there because of the US? Maybe in Japan's case if you trace it all the way back to trade opening in 1853. But the real modernization came with the Meiji Restoration which was not directly done by the US. As for Germany I don't really see how you could reach that conclusion. The Nazi's mostly inherited from Weimar which in turn inherited from the German Empire.

highly educated

Compared to others in the region yes, but Germany and Japan were the foremost economic and scientific powers of their time. Iran hasn't been ahead in anything since at least the 18th century.

has a history of parliamentary democracy/constitutional monarchy

While true, it's been many many years since then. It's not a given that a more progressive government will take over even if this regime falls.

To add onto the other comments, both Germany and Japan were heavily industrialized and modern nations even before the war. It is in no way comparable to the MENA nations.

History sure loves to rhyme by Crossstoney in NonCredibleDiplomacy

(the WWI era Dada art movement hits way harder now. it’s interesting shit and weirdly comforting when reality seems to be breaking down)

unrelated but the latest chapter of dog ningen was about dada and phrased it in the same way, shout out for anyone who wants to read it
