Finland sacrificing its neutrality to try and join NATO was a phenomenally idiotic move.

I'm stating a simple fact that the framing being used is infantile because it completely ignores the actions on the part of the west that led to this conflict. If I'm arguing with people who aren't able to comprehend this, then nothing of value was lost.

Are you suggesting that western democratic countries shouldn't help other people that would like to be free from a dictator?

Russia annexed Crimea

Russia invaded Ukraine

These are facts, no western country annexed anything or invaded anyone. Not to say the west are innocent, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan are shameful things that should never have happened.

US annexed part of Cuba and runs a torture camp there. US occupies a chunk of Syria, US invaded Hawaii and eradicated most of the native population. Need I go on?

And given that China is more democratic than US, perhaps China really should help American people to liberate themselves from the oppressive regime they live under.

I'm not American, take it up with them

Lol, a survey is your proof that China is more democratic??

You're lost dude, fucking lost.

Oh, you mean you would like more resources to educate yourself about China?

Here you go

All the available studies, including ones coming from prominent western institutions such as Harvard, consistently show that China is democratic and that public satisfaction with the government is far higher than in any western country.

Seems like you're the one who's fucking lost here my dude.

Thank you for letting us know that you have no idea what democracy or autocracy is. Also, keep on seething and coping that western color revolution attempt in HK failed. Also, if you think that security laws in China are any different than the ones US or UK has then you're even more ignorant than I originally thought.

This your shithole country? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/03/uk-security-minister-defends-new-anti-protest-laws-coronation
