Do you believe that a better strategy for the West would have been stopping their advance at the Taedong River in 1950 and aggressively digging in and entrenching themselves there?

I guess that McDonald's should send an angry letter to Putin in response to this lol!

Well, the Golden Arches theory failed in 2014 when the Donbass rebelled against the Ukrainian government. It, of course, got punished by losing its McDonald's and replacing them with DonMaks. Seriously.

If the US will fight China on the Asian mainland, then we will confront a Chinese stampede just like we did back in 1950 when we were about to reach the Yalu River lol!

FWIW, I wouldn't necessarily call present-day Russia democratic, though Putin does appear to be genuinely popular there. This war, of course, also shattered the idea that a sub-replacement fertility population would be unwilling to aggressively resist an occupying force.

Sanctions, no? That, and China's power relative to the US will be much higher in 2050+ than is in right now.

To take the blame off of their own shoulders, I'm presuming?

But taking bribes could result in you getting executed if your corruption is discovered, no?

How much does this cost?
