    They’re also literally in the process of invading to claim more land.

    It makes perfect sense for a European country that didn’t extend past the Urals until the 17th century to border the Korean peninsula.

    They don’t even use all that land. They just like to have it. Like a billionaires do with money.

      When Britain spanned half the world it was a lot bigger than an island. (◉‿◉)

        He’s from .ml, so naturally he has enough buffoons sitting around a conference table in his mind that he always has some absurd strawman to tear apart that literally no one mentioned but him…

          Infomercial voice have you ever wanted to complain, but the other people in the thread have failed to give you anything to strawman? Thats okay! You can just invent a guy! Thats right, there is always someone you can strawman when you just make it up! Now your arguments will be perfectly sound.

      So you’re comparing a past empire with an existing one, how nice.

      Since we’re here, I also wonder why no one said about Mongolia and Genghis Khan when they also colonized half the known world. So much hypocrisy.

        Genghis Khan wasn’t European, so therefore everything he did was reconquista, and calling him a brutal imperialist is just xenophobic western propaganda /s

        The mind of a tankie…
