The US military throughout East Asia is notorious for doing sex crimes

One is a country, one is an individual, to say that any individual is more important to the war than the United States is the literal definition of Great Man Theory (i.e. childish nonsense).

This is without getting into other considerations like how Netanyahu is a scapegoat for faux-progressives who want to deflect away from how this genocide has enthusiastic support from many powerful institutions within Israel. It is an Israeli project much more than Netanyahu's personal project.

P.S. Assassinating Putin wouldn't end the war in Ukraine either (nor would assassinating Zelensky or Biden)

Tibet was de facto independent for a while, but it re-joined China voluntarily circa 1950. About 10 years later, with some help from western agitation and assets, the theocratic ruling class felt too threatened by development empowering their serf population and sought to secede in order to maintain their fiefdom. Mao sent in the PLA and crushed the secessionist revolt.

You really can't "no u" this one because of Imperial China, the PRC's claim to Tibet is completely valid. You'd probably have more luck trying with Xinjiang, though evidently that is viewed as slightly played-out now.

It might be helpful to the survey to include a y/n so they don't need to guess whether you are a dom or a sub in that situation

It's countless layers of hypotheticals away from reality and I think recommending bourgeois governments liquidate their bourgeoisie is silly in the way that, in medieval times, recommending the kings of the world abolish noble titles and the monarchy is silly, you aren't going to get these institutions to just kill themselves. What I support is the proletariat, by reason of having class antagonism with the bourgeoisie, fighting a war against the former's control of the state.

What do you support?

That depends on if you do or do not want to fight a global revolutionary war against the bourgeoisie, since they would never allow such a thing to succeed in their liberal republics

No, the 2% is for the ones who obey the law, and is enforced with something more like 100% for those who break the law.

Capital flight only exists where it is allowed to exist. It is possible and, in fact, advisable to have laws allowing for the seizure of assets in such a scenario.
