Thats crazy how its dividing. They have never been our ally, even in WW2 it was more of an enemy of my enemy thing.
Forget all the nations and their interests. It all boils down to east vs west where the west represents liberal democracy and the east represents authoritarianism. How or why people keep siding with the east is something I have tried but will never understand.
That has never aligned closely with the east/west dividing line. In the 1930s, Western countries like Germany, Italy and Spain were controlled by fascists, who along with the Soviet Union, were trying to impose authoritarianism on the rest of Europe. At that time, there wasn't much democracy in the East because anything worth stealing was still controlled by imperialists. And since WW2, some Asian countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India for a while) have ditched authoritarianism.
america's pushing to be #1 in authoritarianism so we'll have to make new synecdoches
It'd be hard to claim ignorance on that. Every American still knows about the anti-Russian sentiment of the Cold War. If they dont we're screwed. Too uneducated.
