Yup. It's actually crazy how anticommunist propaganda creates so many people who are so confidently wrong about things that are so easy to investigate.
It is an observation of historical facts, I am not prescribing any particular action.
Running in the woods and trying to wage a protracted people's war against the local police didn't put the nazis in their place either, so who exactly would I be calling to arms?
American asylums weren't exactly shining beacons of human rights during that period either. JFK's sister had her frontal lobe scraped until she could no longer repeat the lyrics of a song because she said problematic things as a woman.
Germany and the Soviets had agreed a boundary between the lands they both wanted to conquer
And France and Britain agreed to boundaries in Czechoslovakia. You wouldn't call the Munich Agreement an alliance though.
They then exploited it when Operation Barbarossa commenced and continued pushing the soviets back. Finally, once that was done
Except the USSR ended up with the territory they had demanded at the start of the winter war, in response to Finland aligning with Nazi Germany. Finland's willingness to switch sides was due to them seeing the writing on the wall.
You're just describing the IMF's model and pretending China is doing it. When countries were unable to pay back the loans, China has refinanced or forgiven them.
Having good relations and a country that isn't dependent on the west benefits China a lot more than slightly reduced costs to transport goods to a country, that every other country also reaps when a port or railroad is built.
The quality can't be that much worse than the plane that can't fly in the rain and has a risk of decapitating pilots on ejection. It's not as good at killing American soldiers as the Osprey, but it's not exactly the epitome of quality.
In any case, Chinese manufacturing builds to specification. The reason they're perceived as low quality is that you're buying goods designed to be literally as cheap as possible, both in the development and manufacturing costs, and companies wouldn't make a profit outsourcing if they spent the same amount manufacturing the product in China.
When your cheap electronic fails because a .5 cent capacitor explodes after a month, it's not because the country with the biggest manufacturing sector didn't have access to 5 cent capacitors or the country with the most engineers didn't have the engineering man-hours available to design it correctly.
The USSR never allied with the Germans, it was a non-aggression pact, made after the USSR failed to get Britain, France, or Poland to support them in invading Germany in response to Czechoslovakia. Instead Britain, France, and Poland signed the Munich Agreement, dividing Czechoslovakia between Germany and Poland.
To be clear, even after the invasion of Poland in 1940, the western powers intended to support Germany against the USSR, Britain even tried to send troops to support Germany's ally, Finland in the winter war, after the invasion of Poland, and was only prevented when it ended too quickly.
Let me simplify this for you: Shooting communist protesters trying to reform the system is bad. Shooting fascists lynching people in the street is good and necessary.
Yeah, that is why it was justified to shoot protesters
If that's what you think I'm suggesting, you need to work on your reading comprehension.
There were protesters protesting for a change in government, there were organizers setting up alternative structures to compensate for the government's failure, there were also fascists lynching government officials in the streets.
Are you suggesting it would have been better to just let the fascists seize power?
A lot of governments built monuments to Nazi collaborteurs. That doesn’t mean jack shit
China is Canada's second biggest trade partner, unless they're planning to follow America to war with China, what's the problem? Especially because it's for a military that was designed for the singular purpose of defending itself from an American invasion over the last 70 years.
Yes.
