  20.  @juliankraus1011   1. Alright we will talk about the 80s Afghanistan war which the west interfered in 2.well it does look like you are defending western intervention especially when talking about how just because Russia invaded Afghanistan so the west is the world police and has intervened in return 3.well you talk as if it was the only way it would have happened despite the fact that the west really didn't need to intervene in these conflicts, so maybe not sugarcoat it please 4.you talk as if the west didn't have anything to do with the conflict beforehand and that the west never had any contacts with the Mujahideen as to justify the Soviet invasion, either way regardless of historical "facts" it is obvious for us foreigners that the west and the Soviets were surely involved in the political disputes in Afghanistan even before the Soviet invasion, otherwise your painting this picture of the Soviets being the villians who invaded a foreign country and the west had no hand in Afghanistan's internal affairs which we know those "facts" would never be disclosed as we already know in the past how the west has toppled governments and installed client regimes by backing the opposition party in a country's political affairs which still this practice continues in Haiti and other countries in the global South 5. Please we know it's all a lie especially when western forces were covertly involved in these conflicts and the same with the Soviets which these superpowers obviously will withhold information about it, please don't try to convince us foreigners about "facts" which already has been proven throughout history to be false, it has been documented the west from time to time intervened in global politics for its own interests (like replacing Guantemala's president with a fascist regime or US backed coup in Bolivia and many other regions across the world, even in Ukraine where the current president Zelensky has shown to have multiple shares in Wall Street and had western democrats like Victoria Newland directly backing the opposition party Zelensky worked under or say the wests successful coup in Haiti and the endless list goes on) as to secure as many countries under its faction and with NATO expansion of every country which seemingly "choose" to join western powers it is obvious for us who's the enemy here, so this claim of the only foreign troops being the Mujahideen who were obviously backed by covert western factions and mercenary groups which the west hires like Blackwater which got involved in Iraq so it's not safe to assume the west would obviously use such methods as to ascertain the Mujahideens victory, so please don't just pretend we foreigners don't know anything about this wars history especially when the history told by you and the western Empire you defend is obviously false all written by victors of a war 6. You call me building up a strawman yet you come here bringing western "facts" which are obviously warped as to convince others how right the west was at that time, we all know by this point what the west and it's oligarchs are committing themselves to and it's high time the west and other factions like Russia and China never will continue to interfere in global politics as countries have already taken strict measures to avoid foreign meddling like how it happened in the past, but hey i guess your western counterparts will find a way to destabilize other smaller nations, Ukraine was surely successful as it was already doomed since the western intervention in the dissolution of the USSR, the west and all these other factions are surely involving other countries who would rather isolate themselves away from their senseless wars and putting this narrative as there being only one enemy seems very convenient for the west obviously i even wonder whether you are even from the global South my friend cause it surely doesn't look like an average citizen from any of the countries of the global South would agree with foreign interference in their countries in the first place especially since the Spanish or Portuguese invaded their countries

  22.  @juliankraus1011  lol what? All i did was put forth legitimate arguments which idk whether you don't seem to understand or rather pretending not to and your pretending to accept victory yet you never even answered the basic question i asked in the first place, i ask you again Why did the west feel the need to play world police with other countries and interfere in Afghanistan and its internal affairs prior to the invasion ( please dont claim the west had never any hand in this as it's obvious knowing how the western tactics which they implemented in the past) ? Don't justify it claiming because of the Soviets which in that case the west shouldn't get involved and rather an international effort which isn't run by the west or any other nations in affiliation with the west should be involved in resolving the conflict and making peace negotiations with the Soviets instead of a proxy war which the west feels it has every right to interfere and play world police I ask you westerners again, why does the west feel the need to interfere in countries thousands of miles away from its own country? But i guess you people would love to claim us as putting up a strawman argument yet we are sticking to the point and are straightforward with this the west had no justification putting its troops or involving itself in a civil war or maybe we foreigners do understand many of these conflicts or invasions are perpetuated by the west for them to get involved regardless of what consequences the country involved may suffer, the west should have never even had any influence near Afghanistan as its a foreign territory belonging to the Afghanistan government, same thing with the Soviets who i will criticize for the same thing, both superpowers had no reason to interfere with foreign countries and play world police here yet here you are trying to defend the west so badly and trying to pretend the west had no influence in Afghanistan prior to Soviets invading Afghanistan as if they are the villians the west need to get rid off but for us foreigners it's obvious knowing western soft power tactics of influencing foreign countries internal affairs and staging coups in those countries, each superpowers are doing the same thing the west is doing yet you people try to put this narrative of the west being less evil yet for us it's obvious for us

  25. Well here's the problem, the west tries to implement these rhetorics of other countries being bad while sugarcoating their actions while you get these channels which don't seek to stop the western Empire and other superpowers and it only uses these rhetorics of other countries bad as a way to control their country via implementing other systems to circulate the power they already have, no country has been without committing atrocities on their people or other nations and claiming one country is better than the other does no favors other than sympathize with oligarchs who are in power in their country which your living in the point is to understand that these channels use the emotions of people who believe in ideologies and what systems countries should implement as a way to get those people in support for them and make them rich For us foreigners it really doesn't matter what systems countries should implement whether it be capitalism communism monarchy or dictatorship, as long as they serve the interests of every people in their country and I do mean every community and people and not discriminate against others, what these channels want to do is keep people away from the bigger picture and the fact that they use these rhetorics as a way for the colonial powers to gain more powers via smaller countries who are made to choose sides between what systems they like to implement on their country, it's never been around ideologies or beliefs and only been about colonialist countries wanting powers and being in war while smaller countries are in the middle and take the risks of being in control by corrupt leaders or even if they do end up in the right hands are invaded by the west or other superpowers which don't want a country to look for their self preservation and betterment

  27.  @costinhalaicu2746   well I may try to take some steps to avoid that but it would surely be flawed in many and it may be doubtful for even newer countries which may be doomed but it would be worth a try or maybe not 1. Smaller countries would have to cut themselves off from the west completely and look to sustain themselves economically via nationalizing their resources instead of relying on the world trade or the open market (which we know would be devastating for the people in the small country but honestly I would see no option to guarantee freedom), about the knowledge of nuclear weapons countries like Iran had already taken steps to ensure they would have had maintained relations with other fellow superpowers so smaller countries could try something similar and may try to gain knowledge of nuclear power via third parties ( I know the steps which will be required will be hard if not impossible but smaller countries in the past had managed to gain access to nuclear technology before like Iran from the Soviets so it may be worth a shot for countries to try something similar with China but even that's doubtful as China would obviously want something in return and probably would be even worse dealing with them than the west ), about military intervention like I said so the above steps must be taken as soon as possible or in the past should have taken steps so if your like a new country which wants to stave off western hegemony then ur kinda doomed as really you could do nothing about countries which are hellbent on making your resources free for everyone, really Ukraine in the past actually could have been free by not giving up any nuclear weaponry they possessed from the Soviets, that way they could have actually ensured no invasion whether from the west or the Soviets could have taken place I do agree the steps here would be flawed and if not impossible to pull off but if done so then countries could have guaranteed their own self preservation 2. Second part really I can't refute other than trying to cut off your country from the rest of the world but we already seen from North Korea as an example of how devastating that could be and the irony is that a country like North Korea is run by corrupt leaders with selfish interests who only put their own people under the bus as the rich would rather enjoy with the remaining wealth with what they have than ever provide for their own people, so there really wouldn't be any feasible solutions for this for sure unless your nation would have to end up giving something else in return for power and in fact may be worse dealing with countries which wouldn't be as "kind" as the west, not to mention the west really has their eyes and influences everywhere across the globe and your point about corruption is also true enough that even an attempt of wanting to gain access to nukes would be quickly shut down by the west as justification of terrorism not to mention their propaganda which works really well towards westerners who will believe everything anyway as long as they get fed enough, the west really engineered plans to avoid countries from being self sufficient enough with the steps you mentioned about corruption or foreign interference all these factors can lead countries trying to hey away from foreign hegemony into destabilization Final point I do agree with many of the statements as the west has just too much power and influence for them to ever allow other self sufficient countries to be free from influences or doing better than their people, especially when it's not just the west and other countries are also wanting the same thing to not allow any other nations being prosperous, a bunch of power hungry maniacs running these superpower nations who wouldn't even allow other countries to have their own autonomy or self sufficiency for their peoples sake and won't even improve their own country as they rather would want no country to have control of their own resources, maybe countries could have taken steps to avoid western hegemony and other foreign forces especially in the 50-60s where they could have had the time gap to gain access to nukes but that time is gone sadly with the UN i.e US Nations using the fear of nukes and basically getting rid of any form of resistance countries could have shown against foreign invaders

  28.  @costinhalaicu2746  the final verdict is that really smaller countries are really at the mercy of a bunch of foreigners who essentially decide their economy and that we are really living in the same colonial times no different from a few hundred years ago where under colonialism things were much worse but at least there are some good people in the west who may have had some influence even if small to help out smaller nations but again knowing their oligarchs who obviously planned out their way of continuing their neo colonialism via privatisation and corporations basically taking control over smaller countries resources and their people being led astray even abandoning their nation for foreign countries and their grandeur lifestyles and selling themselves for foreigners just to get to their equal status really the only hope smaller nations can have is that the west and other respective superpowers can get good people in control who understand the long term consequences of the constant wars they create and just for once have an understanding of having some humanity for once and do something about their corrupt leaders and institutions which waste all the resources left on this planet for pointless wars and control over other nations otherwise we will be looking at a dystopian world where really people aren't allowed to have an understanding with each other for peace and are pushed to kill their families and neighbours just so they can enjoy short term materialistic possessions all from the blood of others even their own people, no wonder people are constantly depressed today as the problems are only made by those in power wanting to enjoy constantly while living in their artificial worlds living in ignorance

  30.  @costinhalaicu2746    well about these topics really here's the thing, my country has a different history from whatever history your country went through and as far as our country is concerned we are very anti western and for very good reasons and although the west may have done some positives the negatives like our culture being completely desecrated and warped in convenience for the west and not to mention our country being lead by corrupt leaders whom the west continues to support and endorse them, all these factors is what leads to us being anti western in the first place, idk about your country and whether it was in the Soviet era which we foreigners don't have any knowledge about, regardless of what your countrys people think for us the west has been a negative influence and we would rather want the west gone along with other Empires, and whatever history your people are exposed to for us all these countries like Iran Russia or the west including the US are the enemies really, all foreigners have done in our nation is replace and warp our culture into unrecognisable things and is why we have such contempt against any nation, so don't be mistaken into believing I would support any country even the west for us is our enemy and any other countries support their regime, same goes with China or other superpowers, about Iran and other countries you claim from what we understood is that they are no different than the west at least for my country people and we wouldn't want to get involved in any of their histories let alone the west whom we wish give back all they stole from our lands instead of living off our wealths, but sadly the people in my country are just too stuck up worshiping westerners as saviors yet never see them as the colonizers they are

  35.  @costinhalaicu2746  please westerner don't delude us with western facts and claim sympathy for European countries, in fact the country you mentioned Poland had allied with the west many times against Russia and has allied with many other European powers in the colonial era, we foreigners aren't deluded to just believe that some countries in Europe are innocent despite the fact that those countries had allied with NATO in their expansion, it would be naive for us to not consider European nations as not sharing colonial ties same goes with every other nations in the past and the only nations which we could sympathize with are nations which were essentially colonial outposts for colonizers like many Asian countries or many of the global South or many African nations which are still colonial outposts for the west and for China please don't try to bring up alternative historical facts as to ascertain us foreigners about how colonialism worked especially when it was broadly understood by countries across the globe that the western world had and still was better developed than the rest of the world, even China which was a colonial power in the past never expanded beyond their borders unlike western powers like Europe and Russian Empire from the Tsar Era which expanded to many different continents and continued their colonial expansion and although it could be argued Empires from foreign lands were colonial too they never did expand beyond their lands as much as the west had done, every country has their history written with blood but knowing human history it was never as peaceful as people expect, but what's different from today and in modern times is that countries are no longer in control over their systems, like the Mayans whose descendants i.e Mexicans, Guatemala and other central American countries were colonised by the Spanish and now the US and even if their history was violent there were multiple revolutions and coups as to leave their culture unchanged, but with the western world monotonizing their culture and essentially alienating the newer generation from the history of their countries and in turn worshipping the west which in turn discriminate against them only as long as they don't follow their western ideals, it is making things obvious that times are changed for the worse now that countries are essentially becoming the same as the west with selective ways of running their country all in convenience for the west to monopolize their resources for their self interests

  44.  @costinhalaicu2746    think about how the new generation of people who don't want nothing to do with these wars and getting them involved in these stupid power struggles between colonizers and we foreigners sympathize with them regardless of their country origin as they would have to follow the same bloody footsteps as their colonial ancestors whatever history countries may have had isn't worth fighting wars and sacrificing their youths especially when countries in the past and now today and their people have barely anything in common other than being westernized badly yet still want to achieve their freedom and not just subject themselves to oligarchy from their country let alone the west which is the bigger fish to be stopped here, my country already sold itself to the west and other foreign countries in an attempt to stop the problem of our corrupt leaders created by the west ironically and in turn only lead to more people sacrificing themselves only to submit to the west again this justification of having civilians armed up despite them having no understanding of the horrific conditions wars create is nothing but cruelty from the west and their NATO counterparts and we foreigners still don't understand why people still defend NATO for their actions especially when they already continued to interfere with Ukrainian politics with democrats like Victoria Newland directly backing up opposition parties and leading the people of Ukraine against each other instead of looking for their betterment indiscriminate of their ethnicity or their Soviet history the war in Ukraine has everything to do with NATO and Russia which has NATO directly on it's borders and their expansion continuing to increase tensions between countries and now Ukraine left as a desolate landscape with its people suffering the same fate as our country does, colonizers who did the same thing in WW2 and involving us colonial outpost countries as battlefields for their wars we foreigners will remain against western interests or any other colonizer nations especially when they can't leave the world alone for once and same goes with any other colonial forces who are swayed by western colonial ideals into expansion, please don't defend any nation here other than just giving the western oligarchs what they want and get involved in their squabbles if the west continues down this path of neo colonialism

  45.  @costinhalaicu2746  nah westerner we foreigners do have a better clue of what westerners think about, if we are honest here all we see is westerners who have smaller European countries caught in the middle which are caught in the middle of the war and although those countries and their people try to protect the west as a saint who is trying to help them for their interests, it really isn't the case here, we say it again already, it's only a battle between colonizers and smaller countries being caught in the mix, yet smaller countries would rather take sides and let their people be used by other countries than prevent their people from being subjugated by other superpowers, I don't understand why westerners try to defend the west and their actions and bring up alternative historical facts but it wouldn't do them any favors other than face the same situation that Ukraine went through, we just wish countries decentralise their powers first and leave enough for their self defence and for once withdraw their troops across the world and pay back all they had stolen from impoverished and war torn nations for their development and with what they have live modestly for the sake of their peoples interest for once, if that doesn't gets fulfilled then really we surely are doomed and left upto westerners whom we can continually criticize for their actions till they eventually find a way to shut others down and others may take drastic steps and we probably would see another 9/11 happening cause of the west's colonial pathway which will end with an Empire eventually falling down and the world ending in nuclear destruction

  46.  @costinhalaicu2746  well for us foreigners westerners are people who conform to western ideals and beliefs even the flawed ones to their full extent about Ukraine I did say so that the people of Ukraine are caught in the middle between both colonizer nations yet the way we foreigners see it is that Ukrainians are getting better treatment from westerners than many of the Syrian Haitian Mexican or African refugees who had their lands struck by wars and are treated like dirt due to their skin colour, Ukrainian refugees are at least getting relocated to homes instead of staying in camps where they are barely provided any good utilities and many are left to live in the streets even today, you can ask Afghan refugees how bad their country had it, I dont claim completely that Ukrainians aren't suffering from the war and that they essentially lost their lands and are pushed to war even going as far as to put their youths in the battlefield but claiming some aren't given some care for their skin colour as news media and other sources report on Ukrainian refugees more than refugees from other countries we foreigners have already seen a lot from the wests actions how Ukraine is pushed into these wars and their people alongside too, there are open sources and well documented videos of this war for everyone to understand how the situation is in Ukraine and despite all that people still praise the west as if they saved Ukraine despite the fact that they were doomed since the west had committed to their intervention on their lands yes I dont claim that Russia should interfere either but the west is surely fueling the tensions between colonizer nations by doing the same thing but with soft power tactics as to interfere in Ukrainian politics and their peoples cultural lifestyle essentially westernizing it like how our country went through it's the same thing that had happened here with smaller countries which are getting westernized and either a corrupt leader ends up ruining the entire nation or some foreign invaders like Russia or China come in invading their lands m, for us foreigners as far as we are concerned we don't want the west gaining any more allies similar to Russia gaining allies from the middle East which we are against really, countries are already getting too powerful than they already are and we foreigners from smaller nations would rather criticize nations and their factions like NATO or China or Russia for expanding their influences and power than comply with either of them, I mean even we foreigners see some westerners being anti war and wanting to repent for their ancestors atrocities by giving away all that was stolen so why can't smaller countries avoid allying with the west and praise them as their saviors as countries which have done so are left in the dust, it's understandable as to avoid another colonial threat but really all that's been done is just replacing one threat with new management i.e the west
