"Two fascists collaborate to plunder and steal the land and resources of sovereign nation"
Doesn't look that sovereign to me, if the US can dictate their foreign policy, funded 9/10 of its media outlets and they pay for their entire military apparatus (with LOANS, no less). That sounds like a satellite state to me.
Anyway, you can keep plugging your ears and covering your eyes and pretending it hasn't been explained to you a hundred times that Russia doesn't need minerals, nor land, nor resources, but an assurance that nuclear capabilities aren't being deployed along its border. I don't mind deluded libs, y'all the ones burying the empire after all.
So, by this logic, Post-War Japan was not a sovereign state.
How a country must operate during wartime versus peace is extremely different. And the UK in WWII also issued bonds and took debt. Were they no longer sovereign?
That part of your argument is ridiculous. Ukraine is an independent nation with its own sovereignty and territorial authority.
It absolutely wasnt lmao, it was literally occupied. How is this hard for y'all?
What's more, long after occupation ceased on paper, the US had such an economic, military, and diplomatic stranglehold on Japan that they bailed out the US and killed their own economy in the process in the early 80s
