    Can’t we like, globally cut off any and all ties with the US and leave them to fester in their own hellhole? Hell, we’ll build the walls AND pay for them!

      Know how Vietnam lost in the end? It wasn’t the ground war. It was the global trade war.

          Call me ignorant, what do we call victory? They’re capitalist today, not a commune. Yes, they’re not occupied or genocided, but they lost their identity and values by becoming capitalist as a result of the war. Because it was that or famine under trade chokehold. We have different definitions of victory I feel.

            If you’re expecting me to say Communist is the way to go… you’re on the wrong instance. Capitalism has its flaws, but acting like communism is what needs to replace it, is a fucking joke. Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system ever. It definitely has its issues and can be done better, but as someone who has a large part of my family from exsoviet countries…not a fuckin chance I want that shit anywhere near me.
