Why would I have to have a response to the main point? Are we permitted to only ever talk about the US's faults, and can freely make shit up to amplify that point?

The US literally stinked part of the world with Agent Orange destroying lives for generations

Agent Orange is not just a nickname for Trump. Look it up.

So, nitpicking

both, it's really not a hard concept to grasp

Israel is a vassal state of the US Empire, not the other way around. China isn't an imperial power nor does it desire to become one.

Why do you think it's simply CPC propaganda, and not a change in conditions as the socialist mainland rises and capitalism everywhere is failing to keep up?

Israel is a vassal state of the US Empire, and Russia is not a threat except to Kiev. The US Empire is by far the biggest threat to the world.

Why? China isn't imperialist, and is charting an alternative via its socialist system.

China is actually more advanced than Europe and the US when it comes to certain areas like manufacturing, and is at a peer level when it comes to tech (soon to surpass).

Israel is not in control of the US. Israel is a vassal of the US Empire.

Because I read the linked article.

I'm a bit surprised about Philippines because they are very Americanphile, and also having a spat with China on South China Sea.

Can confirm.

China never started a war that cut off Philippines from energy supplies threatening a famine.

I'm not convinced it's not an act.
There have been a few others more moderate 'clowns' like Dubya or Boris Johnson.
People easily underestimate those people and they get away with a lot more.
The way he acts in interviews tells me he's not that stupid.
Remains ambiguous and unpredictable. Despite the obviously silly statements included or idiotic tweets you should separate them from the actions.
A US president can make decisions by himself but they always work for the same sponsors and people behind the curtains first.
If he wants war with Iran it's because they chose that, not him.
And they can all hide behind and blame this 'loose cannon'.
A good example is NATO.
No way Genocide Joe and his vassal warmongers VDL and Kallas could get our EU countries to pay more, as they wanted.
Many didn't even make the 2% which was the previous deal.
All it took was for Trump to create a row and suddenly we're supposedly on 'our own'.
Now we're wasting 5% or more and massively buying their war crap.
In 2 years he will be gone and the next face will fix our partnership NATO extortion racket'.
But in no way we will pay less.
We vassals can pay and suffer more from antagonizing Russia for their benefit, and they can spend more on harassing China, Iran or whatever country not bending to their will.

Edit:
And now we have Lemmy and the rest of the world laughing at his UNO "I've got all the cards" post.
Look how stupid he is!
Why wouldn't he choose normal playing cards, real american ones that you play poker with?
Do people believe there isn't a team running his accounts and none of them know how UNO is played despite choosing that particular game?
Looks like he really pulled the UNO reverse card.
Who's the sucker here?

more like turd reich propaganda failing to sway people into becoming the next Ukraine

It's a government alliance/colonial control arrangement. People are the ones being surveyed and have clearer picture. IT would be interesting to see how close Russophobia propagandized EU countries are close to the correct answer.

Although China is squatting in a shoal within 200 nautical mile from Philippine coast and bullying Filipino fishermen.

Yeah, having a dispute over a shoal is so much worse than being starved to death. 🤡

Like all other wars, Taiwan would be a US proxy push to suicide Taiwan. There's a reason people would be cautious, and as recent as a couple of years ago, 80% of population favoured some version of status quo.

Ah yes, enlightened centrism. One of the easier concepts to grasp, indeed. Great to hold on to if you want to stop thinking about something.

Keep this mindset for the next time you see someone spreading Israeli propaganda, the same way you react to Russian propaganda.

Tell that to Filipino fishermen deprived of their livelihood. I bet you never heard of their complaints, let alone actually listen to them. But what do I know, from a poc point of view, you are just a racist, middle class suburban white knight actually living comfortably in the West, professing faux concerns on people who actually has to live amongst communists. Because you want to get that dopamine hit from larping as a whiteknightclown 🤡🤡

All regime changes have been caused by US, therefore we should assume that all regime changes have been caused by US without further evidence. Textbook cultism.

pro-capitalist pro-NATO regime change

The first part sure is relevant when talking about Belarus XD

evidence hasn’t surfaced yet

It's been 5 years since the Belarusian protests have been extinguished and the opposition neutralised, and Belarus and Russia still have found no evidence? One might even start to consider the option that there is none in the first place, but luckily you made sure to state that it doesn't matter anyway, since all regime changes were orchestrated by the US anyway.

Of course, those dumb third world Slavs must simply LOVE their right-wing autocrat who's been ruling over their underdeveloped country for a quarter of a century and putting most of the opposition into jail, they NEVER could've come up with the idea of voting against him or protesting!

You know what's funny? I didn't even ask for "extraordinary evidence", I expected just a minimal explanation, some connection based on something at least slightly better than circular cultish logic.

Israel was intended to be a vassal state but their intelligent operation was really successful and they have incredible influence on the US and can flex whenever they need something. Look at the whole Epstein situation.

bravo, you could not have possibly written a more imbecilic comment

Why? Hits on your nerve that you're actually whiteclowning??

Nah, I love getting free entertainment from internet jesters like you.

Kay

The US murdered over a million people in the Philippines during its turn at colonization after the Spanish.

China shouldn't deprive fishermen of their livelihood, but since we're comparing them to the US it's clear which is worse.

Who voted for Iran?

Israel

Of course

China is already squatting in Philippines' sovereign waters, and you think China won't do anything in the future? Of course, you would not, because you are cheerleading your own team regardless of your own team being guilty of the same imperialism that you pretend to be against.

You can appreciate which event is more recent given this is a contemporary poll and the amount of propaganda the US would have fed the Phillipines since then.

China is already squatting in Philippines’ sovereign waters, and you think China won’t do anything in the future?

I think this conflict will be resolved peacefully because neither country benefits from open conflict. China doesn't really do war.

Besides, the US-caused energy crisis is going to do more to deprive Philippine fishermen of their livelihoods than China ever has.

But, this poll still shows that people in the Philippines still see the US as the greater threat? Despite China's more recent spat in the South China Sea, despite the propaganda, the Philippines still sees the US as the greatest threat to the world. Japan is the only country that sees China as a threat, which mostly stems from imperial humiliation at China defeating Japanese occupation.

I think this conflict will be resolved peacefully because neither country benefits from open conflict. China doesn't really do war.

They are squatting, with the Chinese warships within Philippine territory without permission.

Besides, the US-caused energy crisis is going to do more to deprive Philippine fishermen of their livelihoods than China ever has.

Typical cope.

Sure, as if being water-hosed by Chinese navy to prevent you from fishing is caused by oil supply restrictions!

You look so hinged right now

Talking like Scott Adams

Have you actually spoken to people you purport to defend what they think of China?

They are squatting, with the Chinese warships within Philippine territory without permission.

Okay, and I think this will be resolved peacefully. This hardly makes China the biggest threat to the world.

Sure, as if being water-hosed by Chinese navy to prevent you from fishing is caused by oil supply restrictions!

No, but being unable to fuel vessels and trucks after the pumps run dry will cause systemic problems that everyone will feel. An energy crisis hurts all fishers in all of their territorial waters, and then on top of that hurts literally every single person in the country. It's not just that there are going to be boats that can't even go out to sea because they aren't able to get fuel, there are going to be people that can't do any of their jobs in any part of the country. This is the prelude to an economic collapse.

The US is the biggest threat to the world and everyone in the world knows it, including people in the Philippines.

And what does that have to do with China doing their own imperialism by water-hosing Filipino and Vietnamese fishermen well before the war, depriving fishermen of their livelihood? What makes you think China will not escalate from waterhosing when they are already sending warships?

I asked this to many of your "comrades". Have you actually spoken to Filipinos what they think of China? Did you physically go to Vietnam or Philippines and asked them of their opinions?

The OP is about Filipinos seeing the US as a bigger threat than China. They're literally telling us that, in the survey.

You're the one that seems intent on ignoring what they have to say, here.

That doesn't invalidate their surprise on the matter. There is a logical reasoning behind it.

Literally yes

I only ever defended China as not being as bad as the US. I clearly didn't say China is flawless and immaculate - I literally said "China shouldn’t deprive fishermen of their livelihood" - and even if I think the conflict will be resolved peacefully (China doesn't do war) it's still bad. This is a local territorial dispute, though, and it's simply not as big a threat to the world as the US.

Yet you seem to somehow believe China is worse than the US, which is absurd.
