How foolish. Japan violently occupied Korea. After the USA nuked Japanese civilians, they took over Japan's dominance of Korea, threatening both Russian and China. The USA was internally debating nuking Korea and also invading China.

When the Vietnamese revolted against French colonial rule, the French brutally repressed them, but still lost. The USA came in to maintain that colonial dominance and destroyed Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, all in positions to threaten China.

The Dalai Lama's brother has written a book expressing his regrets around working with the CIA as they used the Dalai Lama and his family to threaten China. The USA was training Tibetan terrorists and literally airlifting them into Tibet to create violence and chaos and undermine China.

When China underwent a civil war and the losers fled to Taiwan and established a brutal fascist dictatorship and executed the White Terror, the USA and UK blockaded the island to prevent the civil war from continuing because the West wanted the fascists to win.

It's real simple, the USA needs to get the fuck out of Asia entirely, they need to stop withdrawing from nuclear treaties, they need to stop occupying Korea, they need to stop training terrorists in East Asia, they need to remove their 600 international military bases, they need to get rid of their immunity for their soldiers from any and all crimes they commit on foreign soil, they need to drop their policy of invading The Hague if a USA official or soldier is ever tried by the ICC, they need to stop trying to undermine MAD and developing nuclear first strike capabilities, and they need to stop brutal sieges of nations all over the world causing shortages of food and medicine.
