    Turns out you don’t need lengthy comments for substance.

    Your “responses”:

      1. You didn’t actually say what countries China annexed. Just “islands” and “territories”
      1. “This situation is different”

    Dunning-Kruger is in full effect here lmfao.

      1. Rarely are entire countries annexed. Territory is annexed. I provided 2-3 countries that China has annexed territory from.
      2. Yes, each situation is different. The point came after that, where your reading comprehension apparently failed. The point was “Some of those might have been annexed at some point or another.” In other words, the US and Canada probably have been annexing territory from one another.

      You probably don’t know what that means, but ironically you’re correct - only it’s not me exhibiting cognitive bias.

      You still haven’t answer my questions. Were they too hard for you?

        No you didn’t, what countries did China annex? What makes “the situation different” with regards to the US and Canada?

        You probably don’t know what that means, but ironically you’re correct - only it’s not me exhibiting cognitive bias.

        Lol mans just said “no u”.

        You can keep trying to snark me but you’re the one who looks like an idiot here.

          The latest maps claim territory well within 100km of the Philipines’ coastline, and it’s practically right on the coast of a Malaysian island.

          Examples include Scarborough Shoal off the Philipines, the Spratly Islands, and I think there was some Japanese administrated island that I can’t be bothered to look up right now.

          Philipines, Malaysia, and maybe Japan. That’s 2-3. You could throw in Vietnam as well if you want.

          I am a bit of an idiot, yes. Because I choose to argue with you and get covered in shit with you, in spite of the fact that you apparently like it. But I’m clearly not wrong, and that’s what matters to me.
