if this thread from a few months ago is an indicator the usual hatchet job is incoming https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1lp6wy5/why_is_chinas_annexation_of_tibet_not_considered/
I think we're way past the point where anybody cares what the west thinks though.
westerners asking other westerners
they go on and on about tibet's self-determination, but nobody asks exactly which tibetans that involved. oh yeah, sure, let's let tibet's slaver aristocracy do self-determination against the will of the peasants, who cares what they think!
They do the same with the Soviet-Afghan war too
"So happy the evil commies lost" brother did you maybe consider that the 'evil commies' losing had something to do with the Taliban being in charge of the country when the US invaded it like 12 years later?
I'm not convinced these people think the Taliban is actually worse than the "evil commies"
It's cyclical. They didn't think it up until about the 2000s, then 2001 - 2025 they were, now they're not because its politically more convenient to work with the guys (and their syrian offshoot did pinky swear he ain't like that anymore). I expect to see a return to hating the taliban somewhere around 2040 when the the US starts some bullshit war it now instantly gets embarassed in and decides it's time to take it out on the Afghans, again.
Because the west got dementia. They change their opinions as soon as the mainstream media does.
Nobody talks about Tibet is crazy. I guess it has fallen a bit out of fashion.
no more milk in that cow for now, but the west never forgets a thing. they'd start agitating for constantinople the moment turkey weakens.
