        Do you really think any of the countries on the right OR left give a shit about the global muslim population? No they don’t. The ones on the right have geopolitical and economic ties to china and the ones on the left have geopolitical and economic ties to NATO and the west. I mean come on, do you really think Somalia, Angola or South Sudan have some really nuanced opinions about Uighur oppression by China? No they don’t. These countries have important economic ties to China that they would like the keep in tact. Same goes with the ones on the left.

        You can come up with better arguments for and against the alleged oppression on Uighurs than “look at all the le epic anti imperialist countries that back China!!!”

      NATO countries hold the collective death rate (just off the top of my head)

      25 million starving Yemenis after they've blockaded and starved that country in recent years

      2.5 million dead Iraqis from 2003 iraq war alongside god knows how many refugees and who died as a result of infrastructure collapse

      1 million dead Aghanis

      500,000 dead Iraqi children in 1990s to which Madelaine Albright said "it was worth it"

      At least 200,000 Libyans in the civil war there and every life that died in the MED trying to escape that civil war started by NATO

      140,000 dead in Yugoslavia

      That's all I can be arsed with and I've not even done a google on Syrian dead yet.

      My point is most of the countries on the right side have a much better human rights record than any NATO country and if they were to have any hope of catching up to the death toll of the US-EU-Aus axis they'd have to kill literally millions of people

      Like to compare Russias human rights record to NATO is a joke - in pure body count of whos' 6 feet under the West holds that title as King

        Very interesting to use Yemen as a counter-exemple where a person is shittalking Saudi Arabia.

          Very interesting to think I care about defending Saudi Arabia

          Sure they're the principle actors in Yemen - but that's only as a proxy for US and UK

          Without US and UK airsupport Saudis war in Yemen would shut down overnight

          Saudi is little more than an attack dog for US and Uk
