Meh, two ancient evil Empires fighting each other. Out of all of Britain's colonies, China is the one I don't feel sympathy for.
Why? What did China do to deserve massive amount of Opium flooding their market and if they deserved it, wouldn't that also be true for the US today?
You mean except for the exact same shit almost every large empire pulled? Mass executions, violent suppression of minorities and their neighbouring countires, elitism, barbaric punishements and cultural practices that are better of dying out?
And I totally agree. The US in its current form is not worth saving and needs to fall apart for hopefully something better to grow from its ashes.
You described most human societies till the most recent history. Empire or not.
