[–] 1 point 3 months ago (1 child)

Absolutely possible, I'm not perfect an that region isn't my main area of expertise so I would love to be corrected.

(Un)fortunately my library is a pretty big place so telling me to go there will just result in me going home with another Star Wars book that is hardly helpful here. (Or worse yet: More state propaganda!) So can you maybe point me on some, in your opinion, good material? Thanks.

    Story for the late reply.

    Military occupation [...] is temporary hostile control According to wikipedia.

    Where is the hostility between the US and, say, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Jordania or Saudi?

    I can understand occupation in Iraq and Syria. But even there local leaders (like the kurds) don't seem hostile.

    Which ones? Surely not the US as they have been invited to most of the places in the ME by their indigenous populations.

    It'd be like saying the Swiss colonised Rome just because they have some soldiers in the Vatican...

    How the hell are EU, Taiwan, Australia, Hongkong, Ukraine "US Imperialism"?

    🇹🇼 🇺🇦 🇭🇰 are the prime example of antiimperialism. That alone is enough to look at this and go "hell yeah fuck them empires, based!"
