    I can’t believe the evil Chinese would bring about the ominous states of Washdaho and Montaming. Truly treacherous.

          TBH the most shocking thing about this is that the USA has a “major regional commuter rail line”

    Always trying to frame their childish temper tantrums at reality as being the “mature adults in the room.” Ukraine has lost, Russia has won. The winner is the one who gets to decide terms in a peace agreement, not the loser, it sucks, but that is how war has worked since we invented the concept.

      And it rests purely on American exceptionalism. “Absurd, right?” Not if you lose a war it’s not. Countless countries have had to cede territory and countless countries will again, and inshallah the US empire will soon be one of them. Only our bloated imperial vanity has us viewing such a scenario as a wild and insulting impossibility.

        I meant more in general, like it does suck that people who lose a war just have to accept whatever terms the winner wants, but that’s kind of why people start wars in the first place.

          Yeah, that’s true. I’d have more sympathy if the people complaining weren’t the biggest warmongers on earth, though. Really strong flavor of “what the hell, this is supposed to happen to other people not me” with this one.

    This analogy actually does the opposite of what they want it to, because if China was occupying the western US I expect they would have a good reason.

      And at that point it would pretty much be over for the US, and if you wanted to preserve the government you’d have to negotiate while you still have a chance.

        Amerikkkans (and Euros) do not understand this, because they never negotiate in good faith with anyone. They only understand guerrilla warfare (from the perspective of the side that does 20 years of occupation and war crimes before giving up and going home).
