Not to mention many more conflicts not explicitly called out in the chart, like the Russo-Japanese war, the umpteen conflicts in Myanmar, India-Pakistan, Korean War, Iran-Iraq, gulf war, Syrian revolution, East Timor… I could go on, but there’s no point. It’s like trying to teach a dog turd to go fetch.
But only the Democrats think liberalism means peace.
Edit: Imagine thinking that there’s an ideological difference between Democrats and the GOP (beyond the Democrats feeling a little more guilty about slavery).
And in what sense can you say that China “completely fucked” Vietnam? Vietnam won that war, and Vietnam was a unified country before, during, and after that war.
First of all, I love how you linked to an article about a conflict from the second century BC, as if that justifies French and American involvement in 20th century wars against Vietnam.
Secondly, Vietnam was not under 2100 years of subjugation by China. There have been four periods in history where Vietnam was ruled by China. The most recent was in the 1400s, and all together they come to under 1200 years.
And none of it justifies the United States installing a puppet government in South Vietnam to oppose the Communist north after European powers partitioned Vietnam at the Treaty of Versailles.
I can’t believe you have the nerve to call me stupid when you don’t know the basic facts of what you’re talking about (which seems to be true of every Democrat in this thread).
All I’m learning is that Democrats don’t care about facts, and their knowledge of world conflicts doesn’t extend beyond an extreme paranoia about Russia and China.
Look at the chart, you idiot.

Are you agreeing with me that liberals like to foster foreign wars?
(The Armenian genocide wasn’t even foreign. It was carried out by European liberals within the borders of their trans-continental empire.)

Yes, the GOP and the Democrats are both liberals.
But only the Democrats think liberalism means peace.
Edit: Imagine thinking that there’s an ideological difference between Democrats and the GOP (beyond the Democrats feeling a little more guilty about slavery).
(But not feeling guilty enough to provide reparations or anything.)

What are you talking about? What did China or regional warlords have to do with the Vietnam war?
China and Vietnam fought a war of their own, ffs.
That was after the Vietnam war.
And in what sense can you say that China “completely fucked” Vietnam? Vietnam won that war, and Vietnam was a unified country before, during, and after that war.
1979 was just a later example of 2100 years of Vietnamese subjugation by warring Chinese.
Also, I’m fucking done arguing with a goddamn brick.
