they were never colonized so they never learned to care about the outside world. 5,000 years of uninterrupted self-development based on Buddhism and rice farming. that can fuck up a country. kinda like someone who grew up alone in the woods.
i had to explain the world wars to my wife. she didn't even know the countries in those wars.
