Thailand increasingly depends on its bigger neighbour for trade and security
The US is actively pushing every ally away, what do you expect?
Well, yes of course. The US appears to be actively driving away everybody with the exception of Russia and North Korea. It’s no surprise then that it’s also pushing away Thailand.
It is absolutely driving away North Korea. You need to read more. North Korea has never and will never Trust the USA after what we did to them.
Cockblocked them from taking over South Korea 😔
Wow. Try inventing a partition line like Yosemite Sam and saying “I dares ya ta cross this line” and when the Korean people tried to push the racist American colonizers out of their country. Try forced them to lives in caves because of the amount of napalm they dropped. Try bombed every single building to the point where bombers were sent out and and there was nothing left to destroy.
There was no North/South division before the US created it, and they created it because they wanted to nuke China.
I thought the emoji and wording would signal that I wasn’t entirely serious. But it was divided by Soviet Union and USA and before the war both sides had formed their own governments (both saying they’re the one true government ofc).
Apologies for missing the sarcasm. Yes, the USSR did engage, but from a position of weakness. They had no motivation to divide Korea but they didn’t have the will or strength to resist the beligerence of the US.
I think both USSR and USA would’ve preferred a single government but ofc they wanted it to be the on their side
The US was taking over the occupation of Korea from the Japanese. The USSR wanted the Koreans to govern themselves and be self-sufficient enough to not become vassal states of the USA which the USA would use to invade and nuke the USSR.
It’s not just a both sides wanted to control Korea thing. That’s not accurate
America has always wanted for its own interests. It’s never been to actually help another country.
Except now the America First group is in charge and has exposed the eugenics and racism inherent in our system. Who wants to be part of that?
Expect more to follow. America is clearly showing that they cannot be trusted as an ally, so countries are going to make the calculation whether it might just be better to align with China instead
The US is entirely schizophrenic trade-wise, and unreliable. Every country ought to be shifting away from trade with them, as tarrifs and tariff threats vary with the wind, or what the McDonald’s value menu of the day is, or some other inscrutable variable.
