Not to mention many more conflicts not explicitly called out in the chart, like the Russo-Japanese war, the umpteen conflicts in Myanmar, India-Pakistan, Korean War, Iran-Iraq, gulf war, Syrian revolution, East Timor… I could go on, but there’s no point. It’s like trying to teach a dog turd to go fetch.
First of all, I love how you linked to an article about a conflict from the second century BC, as if that justifies French and American involvement in 20th century wars againt Vietnam.
Secondly, Vietnam was not under 2100 years of subjugation by China. There have been four periods in history where Vietnam was ruled by China. The most recent was in the 1400s, and all together they come to under 1200 years.
And none of it justifies the United States installing a puppet government in South Vietnam to oppose the Communist north after European powers partitioned Vietnam at the Treaty of Versailles.
Look at the chart, you idiot.

Are you agreeing with me that liberals like to foster foreign wars?
Both started by the GOP dipshit.
Removed, civility.
The GOP are liberals.
(But not feeling guilty enough to provide reparations or anything.)
Good lord, you’re stupid. As if China and regional warlords hadn’t completely fucked those two countries.
Removed, civility
What are you talking about? What did China or regional warlords have to do with the Vietnam war?
China and Vietnam fought a war of their own, ffs.
That was after the Vietnam war.
1979 was just a later example of 2100 years of Vietnamese subjugation by warring Chinese.
Also, I’m fucking done arguing with a goddamn brick.

There is a point that any dickbrain could see that you’re missing: China was the hegemony long before Western involvement. Now, fuck off.
