        Not to my knowledge, but I’m sure they’d like to and don’t recognize Taiwan as separate from China.

          Call me crazy, but that doesn’t feel as bad as

          • invading Ukraine
          • invading Iraq twice, bombing Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, bombing Yugoslavia, arming a genocide in Guatemala, invading Afghanistan, invading Vietnam, bombing Cambodia and Laos, funding a genocide in Indonesia, funding a genocide in East Timor, funding a genocide in Gaza
          • invading all your neighbors all the time

          Third one is Israel, got lazy.

            Well, China didn’t invade anyone in the last decade because they’ve already annexed the territories they wanted. It’s not like Uyghurs and Tibetans stopped getting genocided because their territories are already internationally recognised as part of the PRC.

            And they do fund multiple conflicts outside of their own country, like the aforementioned invasion of Ukraine.

              Feel free to extend it, I’ll edit the comment. Ideally in a pithy format with a pure focus on foreign interference like the US one.

                  Wait, are Poland and Czechoslovakia during WWII? I don’t feel comfortable putting those two on the list (I didn’t put “invade France” for the US either, which would be absolutely bizarre). I’m also going to filter out the separatist one, bc I didn’t include KLA either for America, for example.

                  Actually, writing this, I notice I would have to vet all of these one by one before I would feel comfortable adding them to my comment, and I don’t have time for that. I did promise to add them to the list, so as a compromise I propose I just add a link to your comment, with the explicit caveat that I’m not sure if I agree with all of it. Would that work for you?

                    You need to define the criteria. France was liberated by the allied forces. And French government was independent immediately after the war (France even withdrew from NATO). Poland was under Soviet dominion until 1989. 1947 were not free elections.

                    For me that counts for sure.

                    Regarding the comment do as you prefer 😜 lacking clear criteria anything is up to interpretation.

              Yeah, they just focus on the countries next to them mostly (and even then there’s been sponsored shit stirring in Africa, too)

            I definitely think you’re right in that there are degrees to the evil these countries are perpetrating on the innocent.

            I feel like the OP was just saying fuck X country who does evil, which is far from the complete list, haha.

              If that the case let’s look who vote with evil things in the UN it’s a clear record where countries stand. This will put UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, Australia, India, Argentina at the top of the list.
