China successfully landed a probe on the moon today. This was the first successful lunar probe mission in over 40 years.

Regardless of your opinion on China, take a moment to appreciate how fucking cool that is.

    USA involvement in WW2 is basically what created the "allies", without that Europe would not be doing the bidding of the USA so much, or be hosting so many American military bases.
    Remember that Eastern Europe was also socialist for a time, so their presence is in line with actions in East Asia.

    UK also had value to the USA in terms of spreading the English language, and this makes it much easier for the USA to spread their propaganda and do business.
    Not sure they were thinking that far ahead though.
