 This is what you wrote:

“No country has had any form of civilization until the west colonized them.”

You were not talking about the present. Nice bluff.

There’s no way to separate the present civilizations in India & China from their past iterations. Maybe Iran but that’s mostly due to the efforts of of Kermit Roosevelt Jr. and the Iranian reaction to the overthrow of their government and installation of the Shah by the ever so civilized West.

But feel free to make up whatever bullshit you like.  That’s the beauty of this medium.
