I love that "Indo-Pacific" has been fabricated out of whole cloth, in our lifetimes, as a term that has no coherent meaning if you try to define it outside US interests, and yet we're all supposed to believe it's not only a real thing but something we should die for.

I say that as someone who has a Southwest Asia Service Medal, another constructed geography I nearly died for, so forgive my being a little jaded.

It's an idea that narrowly focuses on China being the big bad while ignoring that every other country in the South China Sea is contesting each other's territorial claims as well.

NAFO using a fictional map that Ukrainian nationalists presented to the WW1 Paris Peace Conference hoping to become one of the new nations created from the Treaty of Versailles, as aspirational borders to return to.

The West wasn't interested in an independent Ukraine then when they held all the cards. Do they think they're going to create this state now when it means invading Russia.

it takes a special sort of shittiness to go through a nazi occupation that killed 20% of your population and had stuff like the warsaw uprising and still have hatred in your heart towards others especially the jews who had just gone through the loving holocaust in your country.

It's probably because they thought they had gotten rid of them during the war:

quote:

By the summer of 1946, some 200 Jews, many of them former residents of Kielce, had returned from the Nazi concentration camps or refuge in the Soviet Union. About 150–160 of them were quartered in a single building administered by the Jewish Committee of Kielce Voivodeship at Planty,[9] a small street in the centre of the town.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland

quote:

Several causes led to the anti-Jewish violence of 1944–1947. One cause was traditional Christian anti-semitism; the pogrom in Cracow (11 August 1945) and in Kielce followed accusations of ritual murder. Another cause was the gentile Polish hostility to the Communist takeover. Even though very few Jews lived in postwar Poland, many Poles believed they dominated the Communist authorities, a belief expressed in the term Żydokomuna (Judeo-Communist), a popular anti-Jewish stereotype. Yet another reason for Polish violence towards Jews stemmed from the fear that survivors would recover their property.[26][253]

Really strange that anti-communist resistance post-WW2 involved so much anti-Semitic violence...
