Comment Re:Greatest, but maybe not the most damaging (Score 1) 102

you do know that britain and other western european nations colonized india, china, africa and asia starting in the 1700's, fought each other over the colonies and killed lots of natives via war and starvation over the two centuries to spread their empires. including using the natives in their armies in european wars.

france and some of the countries that eventually became germany invaded russia in 1812 and around 1845 or whenever the crimean war was fought along with the US sending marines to murmansk, poland invading russia after WW1 and germany in WW2

most of the problems in the world today are the result of british, french and german imperialism along with lying to colonies about independence for support in wars
