wtf is the different shades of red supposed to mean on this stupid map?
At first I thought it was conventional wars, but we literally invaded and occupied Haiti and the Dominican Republic and Panama and they are pink.
And why are Belgium, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria dark red?
The more I look at it the less I understand.
I assume the light red indicates coups as opposed to outright military invasions (but even then, there should be a lot more of that in that case).
Also, border conflicts aside, China literally invaded Vietnam for the crime of overthrowing their puppet butcher in Cambodia. It also invaded South Korea, regardless of how justified that was or wasn’t. Not sure why that’s omitted since it’s still a massive discrepancy between China and the US.
Yeah at least make it accurate so it isn’t dismissed out of hand. It still makes China look incredibly good.
If it includes coups Australia should be coloured in
