>>12871801>propagandaEverything is propaganda. There is no such thing as an "unbiased news source" and never has been. Another liberal fiction.
Anyway, the source for US marines being despised for their "oversexed" nature in the UK and for the rapes they committed in France aren't German ones.
>>12871800>you're sidestepping the fact that relations were already normalized prior to any need for such an alliance, which is exactly the problem with this avenue of argumentAgain, the US has predicated its engagement with non-liberal states on the basis that they're following a whig history arc. That's why the US normalized relations with Vietnam, because the US elite believed (and many still do believe) that a wealthy middle class will lead to eventual liberalization.
>and yet the only thing they do push is "don't stone gays" and "don't devalue women"They do a lot more than that and you know it. The State Department runs programs specifically for "PoC political leaders" in the EU to receive training as just one example, American NGOs have also been instrumental in attempting to nullify Italy's fairly strict ius sanguinus laws governing citizenship, and the NED are on record as admitting they exploited concepts like Litvin Nationalism, slight linguistic differences etc to open up a division between Belarus and Russia, Ukraine I don't even need to go into.
>i will remind you that those warm relations did not collapse with the USSR, prior to the liberalization of china under Jiang Zemin.Again: The worldview of American elites is liberal with a small "l", that means they believe that China and other illiberal states would eventually liberalize socially and politically as the economy liberalized.
Of course, this is a shallow way of looking at China. China's state even today has a huge role in establishing central economic plans, even if downstream sectors are market-led.
