Difference is that while the US has used the territories gained by Manifest Destiny to enrich itself and make itself the most powerful country in...
There's still the part of actually going out and establishing control. We did so in Tibet, but the US wouldn't be able to do it simply by taking...
I was talking about Iraq and Afghanistan. Meogwi, what happens when countries use their "democracy" sponsored by the US and vote in a...
Why should I read a statement from a separatist who tried to sell Tibet to the UK in the past and is still in league with the Western Imperialist...
