    “I’m against the US imperialism.”

    “So you are against imperialism?”

    “No, it’s just another kind of imperialism.”

        True, it’s not their fault that they inherited an empire. Liberating Siberia would be nonsensical after the revolution which was a liberation. An independent Siberia (or several independent Siberian states) would be less free since all states are evil so why not keep the worst one.

      Isn’t a revolution something that isn’t brought by an outer invading force, but by the people of a country?

      A revolution would be Country D invading its own ruling class, no? You’re just describing imperialism twice.
