    The vile Russian Empire, with its Romanov dynasty, super problematic. If Peter is so great, why does he look so wimpy compared to Joe Rogan? Hah, those stupid tankies don’t even realize the Chinese empire has been abolished for over 110 years!

      Sorry for being snarky… Of course modern China is an empire. Just without overseas military bases. A soft empire, one might say.

          TF you mean ‘assimilated’

          If I lease you a part of my house (AT GUNPOINT NO LESS) for 10 years am I doing an imperial aggression when I move my stuff back in afterwards?

              I’m strongly of the belief, by reading them in the context provided, that you don’t know what any of those words mean

                Imperialism - building an empire by exerting control over foreign powers

                de jure - by law

                cassus belli - cause for war

                So conquering other places is okay when the law says you have a good reason to send soldiers marching down their streets?

                  Okay so 2 out of 3 correct.

                  Now I guess the question is with your sanity. What the fuck are you talking about with ‘conquering’ and ‘other places’? It is literally their country. There was no war. There was no invasion.

                  You’re delusional.
