Don't get me wrong, 7-1 K/D spread is always a win in my book. But it would have been much easier to let them kick out the French, wait it out, and join them when the Chinese began their invasion.
Or even better, we could have continued the Korean War once the Chinese had fully engaged with 'Nam.
We probably should have just done the korean option
because with the Vietnamese, they at least stuck to the idea of the politics not mattering as long as it ended with the independence of Vietnam
Korea on the other hand, they're an entirely different story
Well, the politics wouldn't matter to *us*. I think the Hmong might have a different opinion, however.
Also, what do people think of the idea of Japan getting it's balls back? Should we petition King Biden to let the Japanese have Aircraft Carriers?
depends on what Japan decides to set their gunsights on
if they start pulling the same shit as in the 30s then absolutely not
Do they have a choice? Given that China is currently running constant "Landing Operation" drills for its army, and everyone's wondering when Taiwan (Or as I like to call them, the RRC) is going to get invaded, they won't have a chance to start imagining any Imperial fantasies.
which is why i dont think itll be a problem
only this time, China isnt fighting a bunch of smaller versions of itself
I agree that Japan's done some pretty heinous stuff. Their human experimentation made the Nazi's blush. And they still refuse to apologize for it.
But it's been 75 years now, I think? Pretty close to that. I think it's in the past.
agreed
Not to mention, China is the one constantly demanding apologies. The gall of that is just astounding.
speaking of the vietnamese, i heard that they, along with countries like Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand have been butting heads with the Chinese behind closed doors
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
it was fine the first few years before we rooted out the Japanese Imperial coomers, but now its just kind of annoying
Fun fact, what we know as the Chinese Culture, it's actually *Han* culture. China had a great number of different types of subculture before the Han took over. But once they did, they were absolutely pretentious and constantly bullied their smaller neighbors. When the British Empire came knocking, the Chinese spoke Latin to them. The Brits said "We kind of speak English now."
The Chinese gave them a long and pretty version of the following:
"Be glad we're not forcing you to speak Chinese, it's a sign of our graciousness that we bothered to learn Western language at all. We will accept your silver in return for our products. What can we say except *You're Welcome.*"
That's when the Brits told them to get stuffed and began firing cannons at them.
And then drugged the shit out of them
Point being, the Vietnamese, the Koreans, the Philippines, and *especially* the Japanese have never forgotten what kind of imperialistic pricks the Chinese have always been. They didn't need a communist dictatorship for everyone to hate them, they were hated to begin with.
The Han were pretty good businessmen to begin with but shit militants
It was all the nepotistic backstabbing, I think.
China has enough natural borders that they didn't really need to be worried about being invaded by foreigners. And because of that, the court politics were an absolute nightmare.
i said that the Han (chinese) were shit militants, hence why they were crushed by literally everyone else
and one dumbshit had the gall to say "But what about Sun Tzu?" to me
Fun fact: Sun Tzu served the Kingdom of Wu, who im pretty sure were not the Han
Cao Cao knew wtf he was doing, and he hired the right people for the jobs he had them doing.
shit my asian history isnt that good
Is he a Han Leader?
No, I had *my* history wrong. I had the wrong Kindom of Wu.
hold on lemme look him up
oh shit i got it right
Cao Cao was a Han leader
ooh
oh dear
No, what I'm saying is that I found out, Sun Tzu didn't serve under cao cao.
He served in an entirely different time period.
Hence, wrong Wu.
he served King Ho-Lu
yeah i got it
