TBF, I think you will find most nations violate their treaties. It's not just an American bad behavior. That said, what was done to the Native Americans was genocidal. There was a quote I remember from reading a book about the Balkans where the Hungarian official threatened to do to a group what the Anglosaxons had done in North America.
Well, that might be true but for the last few centuries due to the power is lopsided in favor of the Western colonial powers, the rest of the world was actually at the receiving end of getting treaties modified, changed or nullified.
fair. mockery is earned. I'm for different nations - not just the US or China - buildin in space. The last 30 years have shown a lack of competition and pure cooperation lead to stagnation. So let there be competition. The US not allowing China into the ISS was probably a boon to the world, even if the US thought they were handicapping an enemy.
The space is big enough for all humanity. Cooperation or not cooperation doesn't matter much. Competition is good but I doubt China is serious interested in competition with the US. At least for now, China didn't prioritize space development as there are other priorities. Maybe a few years down the road, we will witness a truly new space competition that is inspired by the new interests from the private sector.
