    China attempts to maintain their territorial claims in the South China Sea after the Philippines and Vietnam conduct island-building operations there in the early-00s: CHINA BAD!!!

    America expanding their territorial claims in the Pacific because they want more natural resources: Yeah, this is fine and reasonable and democratic.

    Canada, who gets no say in the matter because we're entirely reliant on the US for trade and defence: fuck, eh?

        Not allowing your fledgling government to simply be devoured by the world empire doing illegal empire shit is as bad as being the empire.

        Do you also think having a gun for protection is the same as having a gun for robbing people?

              What hypocrisy? It's like if Nazi Germany decided to gobble up fascist Italy, both horrid rancid countries deserving of destruction. Fascist countries don't get to play victim when they get devoured by a larger fascist state they work alongside as a literal 2nd player in the North American stage.

              Just to be sure we are talking about Canada right?
