Do you not find it strangely coincidental how every country the UK colonised then became a functioning democracy with strong ties to the UK, with the exception being Hong Kong which was passed to the Chinese. When China cracked down on the two systems, one country deal they agreed to, the UK opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers. The same thing happened following the partition of India where millions were taken in
With all due respect, India isn't underdeveloped because of colonisation, in fact there were significant trade benefits for both countries under British rule. We had to partition the country due to sectarian violence, the caste system puts even the British class system to shame in its abhorrence. The same hyperbole is often applied to the slave trade and colonisation of Africa, as if they'd be like the EU otherwise
Anyway, it's not about Boris Johnson, it's about long term strategic alliances. China will be India's biggest rival for decades to come, and Russia is a failing power with a weak economy, so really it's the West or nothing
I was there for 2014 Protest I marched
I was also there for the 2018 Protest which I marched too in Hong Kong.
This is something I know for
sure NED was already interfering with the TWO system.
China don't really care how Hong Kong votes whatsoever before the 2018 protest.
For them to be so sensitive about the Tiananmen Square, HK was doing that Virgil every single year.
Until the HK protestors went all BLM on everything in HK.
That was when I stopped supporting those protestors. There was an old man that was annoyed with some of the protestors and argued with them, they poured petrol on him and tried to burn him alive.
When the British left, India's literacy rate was only 13%. You look at what happened to Ceylon.
The only Ex Colonies which did excellent was Singapore, then Malaysia in Asia. I won't put America in since they fought the British off.
And no, the West is declining and have been declining. And when I say the West I mostly meant USA, the politics is so divided it is not looking good.
Germany was doing exceptionally well until this whole Ukraine thing happened.
From our point of view in the East , USA is doing a last ditch attempt to remain dominant.
Military wise , it will be very hard to catch up with them, economically wise it is a sooner or later issue, sooner rather then later.
The identity politics have spread over to Europe from USA like some sort of plague. Mass refugees and migration from countless of wars that the West is involved in isn't doing too well in Europe.
