Same answer, take a decent history book....WW1 they could not win without US, in WW2 they were promptly defeated. On par with Italians in courage in the XX century.
End of story. Next step is "ignore"

Nope.Wasn't it the US who kept telling Netanyahu to broker a deal to stop fighting?
That's a very CNN view of what's been happening. Reality is considerably different. Biden's put very little effort into dampening Netanyahu's homicidal tendencies. It seems that with every 'oh gee Bibi we really wish you'd ease up on the atrocities just a little, if that's ok with you that is' signal out of this Administration there's a few $billion more in lethal aid on the way to them.FFS. Wasn't it the US who kept telling Netanyahu to broker a deal to stop fighting? What was Netanyahu's response every time? We do what we want. Stop sending weapons per agreements? Biden tried but no matter what the Congress would never go along with that. Especially maga who follow Netanyahu's good buddy trump. Isn't it the US that keeps insisting humanitarian goods get to the people? Wasn't it Netanyahu who stopped the trucks? Why you didn't mention the guy that is behind all the injustices that are happening? Why not mention trump who stated that Gaza would make a great area for high end resorts and Netanyahu agreed?
No, you won't because no matter what the US us to blame for any injustice in the world over the entire life of the planet.
A long but detailed description of who id Netanyahu...That's a very CNN view of what's been happening. Reality is considerably different. Biden's put very little effort into dampening Netanyahu's homicidal tendencies. It seems that with every 'oh gee Bibi we really wish you'd ease up on the atrocities just a little, if that's ok with you that is' signal out of this Administration there's a few $billion more in lethal aid on the way to them.
Sad but True That! I say let the damn Israeli's cover their own Ass, and stop sending them anything except condemnation! All the world should stand together and put a stop to this Madness!That's a very CNN view of what's been happening. Reality is considerably different. Biden's put very little effort into dampening Netanyahu's homicidal tendencies.

Why are they evil?Export trade is 54% in USD and 88% of world transactions are in USD. The one trying not to use the USD are the axis of evil Russia-Iran-China.
Evil-opposite of Good.Why are they evil?
Come to think of it, don't answer. I can't be bothered to mess around with that stuff.
I'll bite.Evil-opposite of Good.
The Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward come to mind, as well as colonization of Tebet, Xinjiang, and the South China Sea.I'll bite.
What has China done that is so evil that other countries have done less of?
That isn't a 'what if' or 'justified because someone did the same', more a how can one country that has done lots of evil things condemn another for doing evil things?
With China, the US paints it as evil because they are winning when it comes to world trade, nothing else.
China is very much a threat to the US, but business wise, not militarily.
Distinct difference, China is a totalitarian mercantilist dictatorship, and VOC/East India Company style neo-colonizer. It is combining advanced technology with population control, which is pretty dystopian.I'll bite.

I would just like to point out, that these countries are not all totalitarian dictatorships. I've seen videos of Iranian people living in beautiful mountain regions, living simply, as farmers and village people. I'm sure it's the same in Russia and China also. The video I saw, showed people gardening, cooking delicious looking food, on open fires, making cheese, bread, and living a lifestyle, I would love to be a part of.Distinct difference, China is a totalitarian mercantilist dictatorship, and VOC/East India Company style neo-colonizer.

Hundred of thousands of legal and illegal immigrants are trying to enter to US an EU, and none, or very little are trying to illegaly or legally immigrate to China, Iran or Russia. On the opposite, many citizens are trying to run away from these countries. That would be a sufficient litmus test.
I think it is because of : the trade (big US deficit) , the big size of the Chinese economy (GDP) , and the big Chinese technology advancements .I don't think that trade is the reason that the US is calling China evil.
True , I guess .... China's eminence in manufacturing emerged in coordination with and the agreement of US and other Western countries' leadership.
I don't agree . Do you know the details of the Chinese political system ?.. China is a totalitarian mercantilist dictatorship, ...
Dystopian : of, relating to, or being an imagined world or society in which people lead dehumanized, fearful lives (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dystopian) .It is combining advanced technology with population control, which is pretty dystopian.
So , this is one of the reasons you call China/Iran/Russia , "the axis of evil" ?Hundred of thousands of legal and illegal immigrants are trying to enter to US an EU, and none, or very little are trying to illegally or legally immigrate to China, Iran or Russia ...
I have spent time working in these dictatorships ,have you ?I don't agree . Do you know the details of the Chinese political system ?
I don't know much but I am almost sure it is not a "dictatorship" .
From what I see , Iran and Russia are not under dictatorship too .
I lived in my country and in Indonesia during dictatorship and democracy . I and people I talked to , didn't notice relevant differences in our lives . So I guess it is wrong to say that Cuba (under Fidel Castro) , North Korea , and others dictatorship countries was/are evils . There is no saint and no evil too (we humans are correct/good sometimes and wrong/bad sometimes) .
Dystopian : of, relating to, or being an imagined world or society in which people lead dehumanized, fearful lives (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dystopian) .
Again , I don't agree . I have never been in China , but I never saw Chinese "dehumanized, fearful lives" in the TV (I sometimes watch 2 Chinese TV channels and many other TV channels) .
So , this is one of the reasons you call China/Iran/Russia , "the axis of evil" ?
In my view , they prefer to go to USA & Europe because :
- in these poor countries involved , the US Dollar and Euro are probably the only foreign currency available
- in these poor countries involved , English/French languages are a lot more known than Chinese , Iranian , Russian
- in these poor countries involved , probably they see mostly USA & European movies/TV series
- The rich West dominates the international news companies
- USA is the nearest for the South and Central Americans , ...
By the way , from what I see many of these immigration problems are partially or totally caused by the "good & democratic West" .
Repeating what I said above in the post you quoted : "I lived in my country and in Indonesia during dictatorship and democracy" .I have spent time working in these dictatorships ,have you ?
I didn't say that dictators don't do bad decisions , did I ?Not pleasant experience, populations scared to speak , foreigners being surveilled , propaganda everywhere , people disappearing ,etc etc
That's a good point about no one is perfect, but I've never heard of a nice Dictator, or people living under Communism, having freedom to live life at ease, or becoming even middle class. I would like to hear from someone that is native to a communistic country, or living under a Dictator. To see if they felt good, about their situation living under those extremes!Repeating what I said above : "I lived in my country and in Indonesia during dictatorship and democracy" .
I didn't say that there is no bad dictatorship , did I ?
Considering we are all (imperfect) humans , I assume that not all dictators or communism are essentially bad and similarly , not all elected presidents or democracies are essentially good .
I had experience under dictatorship (as said before) but not under a communist government .... but I've never heard of a nice Dictator, or people living under Communism, having freedom to live life at ease, or becoming even middle class ...
