Yes, but here in America, where piva00 and I are, only tens of thousands of people were killed by US-backed dictatorships, not hundreds of thousands or millions.

Insane because almost none of this is based on reality and as another commenter said is just US imperialist propaganda. Literally hyper concerned with dominance and zero sum winner take all logic aka fascist. Using sexual terms to illicit an emotional response as if China is RAPING us by not giving us everything for nothing(a bitch)? again a fascist style of logic that the ONLY outcome is SOMEONE being the bitch ...…

You're making more unsubstantiated accusations and saying I'm a propagandist, a fascist, blah blah. What is your support for this? I am concerned with dominance because I don't trust china to hold a military advantage and not abuse it against my people. I expect multiple other countries feel this way, which is fine. All of us will probably jockey for position and I'm arguing we should focus all our resources behind m…

I'm not really going to engage anymore. The support is self evident in your own statements and it's obvious you just want to play bad faith games.

If you don't see how becoming or making "bitches" is not related to humiliation I'm not going to bother.

If you dont think "the orange man" is a fascist, then any further peaceable discussion is a waste of time. See you in the field

Fascism: characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

The most significant US regulations in the area aren't even mentioned in this article: the prohibitively high tariffs on Chinese solar modules and electric vehicles, which at least double the cost of solar panels and EVs in the US compared to much of the rest of the world. Current US elites grew up in the energy crisis that started with the Arab oil embargo of 01973 cutting off US energy imports, and they seem determ…

Because we cannot afford, geopolitically, to have a hostile rival nation with whom we may in the next decade be at war control our energy. There is no if, and, or but about that. Of course, most of said solar and battery tech was originally developed by Americans; chinese bought old patents, bought companies out of bankruptcy, and threw obscene amounts of state capital at developing it further. and now we're stuck wi…

Completely agree!!!

Probably North, South and Central.

Nicaragua is one of 23 independent North American countries.

The USofA has meddled in most American countries.

Yup, I'm aware -- not just Nicaragua, but also Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Chile, Bolivia, etc. I was merely curious about where u/kragen lives.

I was talking about America as a whole, not just South America.
