Are we pretending the West doesn't order murders in other countries?
Well, for one, I doubt Canada does it, and for another, the Americans at least have the self-respect to own what they're doing when somebody calls them out on it instead of switching into crybully mode and throw a diplomatic temper tantrum like Modi is.
I don't recall Obama ever pulling diplomats and visas from Pakistan when their government was angry about US airstrikes in their country.
"I didn't do it and if I did it was justified" just looks childish.
America doesn't "own up" to anything unless forced to, not sure what America you're talking about
I don't think anybody ever pretended that anybody else was flying Predator drones over Pakistan and occasionally hellfiring a camp. I mean, it's not like they apologize, but generally their reaction is "yes, we did that. What's your point?"
The pentagon doesn't care, nor have they ever cared
The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn't even that much democracy at home.
The narcissist's prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.
Whatabout
nobody should do this… the west does, and that’s also shit… right now, this is the event that we’re talking about though and citing the west is just whataboutism
The east never does tho. Only the west.
You're all liberals 🧐
You all just got dunked on so hard.
Lol, Russia is the one who does this the most. China has illegal police stations, reported by multiple countries.
There's this thing that if you go west far enough suddenly you're in the east. So there's that.
Social credit too low to cross borders :/
Man those are made up points, speak your informed mind and ask deep questions.
Why is the line dividing hexbears and magats so paper fucking thin and why do you all get so mad when I remind you that Donald Trump is a communist?
I didn't know that one, care to elaborate?
Are we pretending we should give the west a pass on that? Should they be allowed to with a clean conscience?
