It is quite funny that we call our empire rules based order. Athens was also known for using a lot of euphemisms.
Something about pretending that an imperial democracy is a legit thing that can exist seems to make you want to lie to yourself.
What's your alternative when Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea actively seek their own colonialism?
Loling at calling China, Iran, or North Korea colonialist.
Taking the most extreme example, how l the fuck could North Korea be colonialist? They also literally changed their foreign policy to abandoned the project of reunification with the Southern puppet regime.
"Southern Puppet Regime"
Anyway, they appear interested in war with South Korea again. And they're shipping arms and ammunition to Russia, which has wound up usef in both Ukraine and by Hamas.
Yes, the regime that was a military dictatorship all the way into the 80s, whose military is literally under command of US pacific command during war time, who need US permission to fly their imported fighters in peacetime, and who don't have free speech when it comes to talking about the DPRK
Ahahahahah. Source? One that isnt funded by a billionaire or a government in service to billionaires please.
Hmm, sounds like they sell weapons to groups that oppose the US empire, whether they are regional imperial powers or they're liberation groups.
That doesn't make them colonialist, lmao.
