That's not how you spell "Tibet"....
Liberals dream of cutting up the imperial core's adversaries to be shared between their capitalist ruling class
You do realize that 95 percent of Tibetans were serfs and slaves who served feudal lords before the arrival of the Chinese communists, right? I'm sure they're just dying to return to independence.
And you do realise that a people do not automatically revert to the state they were in the last time they were independent, right?
If Scotland were to gain independence I highly doubt they'd revert to their 17th Century feudal state.
Liberals are always calling for balkanization. You're completely missing the point. Tibet has been a part of China for centuries. Tibet was liberated by the PRC and reunified with China. All of this free Tibet energy is an invention of the west. There's hardly anybody in Tibet asking to be freed.
I don’t think many Tibetans would welcome a CIA-backed Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama coup government.
that must've sounded so clever in your head 😂
But has Tibet reached a comprehensive agreement with China though?
Question: is a country sovereign and independent if no other country recognizes it's independence and it lacks the powers of de facto independence?
If so, then I guess I really could declare that my house is independence and have a bunch of freedom fighters show up to my door...
