40 years seems specifically chosen to dodge ~~maos~~ dengs L in vietnam. Even then US is worse though.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

40 continuous years can hardly be called cherry picking.

[-] yunqihao@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

maos Ls

You mean Deng invading Vietnam, no?

[-] Blep@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

Yeah youre right this is a deng L. My bad

[-] agentant@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

I too, thought that was a Mao L. Good to know.

40 years is the rough time period most people consider "modern" for contemporary events. Going older than 40 seems like "history" to most people.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't call it a dodge, everyone knows China has participated in a couple of invasions/bombings in the earlier part of its history, the point is that in the last 40 decades they have not, so if we are to evaluate how they are now or how they will be in the immediate future, that seems like a useful thing to point out.

Oh I'm sorry, it seems you haven't heard about the independent State of Basuria smuglord
