They have a tendency of projecting themselves on everyone and can't fathom that others don't think like them. If you go to reddit they keep banging on about how if Russia were to collapse tomorrow China would take over Siberia because they want land and resources, I keep thinking to myself "these people are nuts". They honestly believe that if things pop off in the pacific Japan and Korea will immediately fight China with them, I laugh at those idiots. Like others will risk getting bombed on and possibly nuked simply to maintain US hegemony.Well the idea in the West is that the entirety of SEA is against China because 'reasons' They don't see each SEA country's own agenda from a realist point of view but rather a simplistic black-and-white approach. To them, it is unthinkable that SEA countries like Thailand could have conflict with Cambodia, or have national interests that align with China's or go against other SEA countries.
