Reply to comment by dancingteam in Iran also barred from Nobel ceremony, after Russia, Belarus by 29PiecesOfSilver

genocide, illegal “police stations” in foreign countries, extreme suppression of the masses, constantly threatening a neighboring country with war, authoritarian police state, debt trapping more impoverished countries than i care to count, illegal occupation of large swaths of land and people… not the greatest place to be giving awards for greatness

US has committed all of the things you listed. Genocide, check. Illegal police stations (CIA black sites), check. Extreme suppression of the masses, check. Constantly threatening countries with war, check. Authoritarian police state, check. Debt trapping countries, check. Illegal occupation, check.

You realize everything you just said about China is also true for the US?

i mean if that’s what you have to tell yourself, then sure

the us has done and currently does a lot of bad things, but it literally cannot compare the atrocities committed by the chinese government. it’s an insult to anyone in the western sphere of influence to say so, and i think you knew that

The US has military stations all over the globe, why is it OK for the US but not China? The US suppresses information to the masses. Constantly threatening neighboring countries, ask Cuba how they’ve been treated by the US. The US is an authoritarian police state. Debt trapping countries, those are conveniently called “sanctions” by the US. Illegal occupation, the US just invaded Haiti for no reason.

the us is either asked or asks to install military bases, and generally it’s for the good of both countries. china uses those stations as a way to pressure and scare chinese expats to still follow chinese laws despite not living there anymore.

the united states suppresses what it needs to to the masses, as i can research any wrong doing, any war crime, any broken internationals laws, all legally and for free. you can’t do that in a lot of countries.

the us just handed cuba several million dollars in response to the damage caused by hurricane ian. you’re so well versed in caribbean happenings, you should know that.

the us has a problem with police brutality, to the point where i’ve heard red blooded republican conservatives admit it. we know it’s an issue, but it’s ingrained culturally into police, it’s not policy to shoot black people.

do sanctions against north korea, iran, russia, belarus, myanmar, venezuela, and so on not seem justified to you? countries that are either mass killing their own people, constantly threatening invasion, or actively nonchalantly bragging about how they can end the world?

and lastly, this is the absolute most stupid talking point i’ve heard come up recently. haiti is currently a chaotic hellhole run by cartels, gangs, and criminal syndicates. the government asked for a un, not us, but un intervention. would you consider the chinese un peacekeepers abandoning their post in sudan to be an invasion?

Yes no reason. No reason whatsoever. Literally nothing at all is going on there at this moment.
