politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's fucking hilarious. I.e. see Ukraine and Taiwan.
I mean yeah those aren't global.
Lmfao. What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?
It's idiotic speak
I meant: They try to expand their borders. That's also really bad. But they don't have much interest in land or resources half a world away.
So, your argument is that it's okay to be a little imperialistic? Even though you were shitting on the US for...being imperialistic. Lol
Sudan and Djibouti would like a word with you.
Nope. It was that some people would have it better if the US were to be superseded by China as the global power. Of course many others would have it worse, mainly Europeans and Asians, but that doesn't mean nobody would have it better.
You're not making any sense.
You've proved with that comment that you don't really know what you're talking about. Belt and Road initiative?
Okay I'm usually not the biggest fan of China but the Belt and Road initiative doesn't seem very imperialistic to me. At least nothing close to what the West has been doing for the past 70 years after colonialism had supposedly ended.
