            I’d hope most reasonable people see the difference between governments and citizens.

            Your English is probably the best I’ve ever read because you speak like an American.

              Thanks? Can’t quite tell if you’re sincere or implying I’m not Chinese. Sorry, Internet and nuance at odds again. FWIW, English was my first language.

                I think they’re either being sarcastic, or a dick, not sure.

      Edit: my comment was meant to be a joke about iamascaryvampire’s username. Sorry if people don’t get it ☹️

        This is the worst “both sides” argument I have ever seen.

        We’d have been close allies and they would have gotten away with whatever they wanted, likely heavily influenced by Western interests in the region. At some point we would have meddled with their elections, as would have the soviet union, and they likely would have fallen in to a fascist dictatorship, either pro or anti US depending on which superpower won the game. And by today they’d be in a very similar stance, not super close to anyone but closer to the country who’s flag shares the most in common.
