  • Yes I got it wrong. Instead of Israel, It should have written Zionism, the foundation of Israel that we see today. Zionism continues through modern Israel, and Israel doesn't exist under thin air.

    Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with my statements of British and US backing. They reduced their reliance on the British after WW2.

  • Israel has a strong backing from the US. It is part of their Modus op since early 1900s which is to get a strong backer. Earlier, British was their patron and that's how they get their foots in Palestine. Sometimes in 1930s or 40s (if I am not mistaken), they managed to get close support from the US, that became their new patron, and they reduced their dependence to the British at that point and even committed terror campaigned against them so that the British wouldn't be in their way to gain Palestinian territories.

    So, why would they care about international pressure/support when the US is with them. It's not necessary, as the international community won't be able to do much as long as some powerful body is always be behind them.

  • Not big surprise, new zealanders tend to be incredibly xenophobic and racist.

    Okay?

    You are doing a lot of mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that New Zealand's government is representative of their people.

    You mean, tbeir government is racist too?

    It's not like they have a dictatorship, lol.

    Shut it. If only socio-politics is that simple.

    edit: wow, it's not that I care. But this person won't waste a second to downvote every comment that doesn't agree with them.

  • There is strong chance of some countries going to war to save Taiwan, I am afraid. Most definitely an alliance this time and for sure Australia will be in it. Not exactly because they they want to save Taiwan, but because they want to maintain their hegemonic status quo on the region. They can't afford to lose their influence there, as East Asian region is too important in securing their domestic (economic) and national interest.

    China is buying time. China knows they will lose their gound if they get in now as they are not ready militarily. But, one day they will strike.

  • Not sure why you only include annexation after the cold war. We don't even touch specifically on the Europe issues. It If that's so, why do you include China into the equation?

    Anyway, I thought the post is about Disputed Territory. That's a whole different matter with regards to annexation if you consider geopolitical perspective.

    By the way let say I go along with your train of thought: if we simplify the timeline to after the UN has been founded, the post you link does not only discuss about annexation by Israel but also Morocco, Russia, Eritrea, China, Indonesia, India and some other countries - if you even read the article. So yes not just Russia and China.

    Anyway, there's one topic that you might want to read more in addition to world history: It is called confirmation bias. Have fun.
