Fault? I didn’t mean to imply that China is responsible for starting the latest bout of civil war in Myanmar, because they weren’t. There’s really no reason to believe that whenever something bad happens, some outside big boogeyman is entirely to blame. If you want to know what caused the current civil war to start, try looking it up, but please don’t make assumptions.
If you can’t look it up because of time constraints or other reasons, then accept that you don’t know. It’s impossible to know everything, so there’s nothing wrong with not knowing some things. But imo not knowing something and knowing that you don’t know, is a lot better than making assumptions and inventing alternate facts.
Where did I say it was China’s fault? Even if I was being sarcastic that for once it wasn’t the US, how did you interpret that I said it had to be China?
PS: ah, was it the multipolar world thing? Ok, I was thinking in the sense of post-US. I’m just surprised that for once there isn’t a bunch of people blaming “the west” for it. Maybe that’s why people don’t care about it.
And yeah, sarcasm with just text doesn’t work very well, got to add something for making obvious that it is sarcasm, or plenty of people (me included as you saw) will assume otherwise.
Huh, I thought every conflict in the world was the fault of the US…welcome to the multipolar world I guess :/

My bad for assuming wrong.
