You don't understand, western nations helped defend one side of the civil war and propped them up as part of a global ideological conflict they wanted to engage in with countries on the other side of the globe from them. Not agreeing to allow their proxy to act with impunity is textbook imperialism.

smuglord Imperialism is actually when you are the victim of imperialism, checkmate tankies. The real imperialists are the country that avoid projecting power outside their own border and hasn't gone to war since the 80s, not the one with hundred of military bases around the world that they use to violently enforce their global hegemony.
