        I agree, however you might want to have a talk with your server admins and much of the user base about that.

          You misunderstand, it’s only imperialism when it comes from the imperial region of NATO. Otherwise it’s sparkling self defense.

            I know, right? It’s so weird to see that sentiment coming from a server where support of imperialist nations is mandated. The Soviets conquered and annexed their neighbors multiple times over the 20th century. They didn’t go to Afghanistan for summer camp in the 80s either. Nor did the US help Afghanistan out of the goodness of their hearts. China is practically repeating a lot of the United States machinations from the mid 20th century as well with their belt and road initiative too.

            But, as we all know. Imperialism for a certain crowd is just a dogwhistle for “the west”
