? The most recent one is the ongoing genocide in Palestine that the US and its colony is committing.
No, "israel" isn't a separate entity. It was formed as a general western settler colony in Palestine using british colonization tactics, and has been functioning as an american one.
The US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, and its government is thus directly or indirectly responsible for a large part of the suffering in the world right now — be it directly through wars, genocides/massacres, sanctions, embargoes, or indirectly through economic imperialism or neocolonialism — so yes, that should be the first country anyone comes up with. Probably also because I happen to be from one of its victim countries.
All claims of this come from imperial core countries or "independent" orgs funded by its corporations.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and delegates from dozens of Global South countries approve of China's handling of the ETIM (a problem deliberately created by the US through Afganistan by the way) and deny western claims. This lines up with what the hundreds of millions of annual tourists to the region say.
Between the western govs responsible for killing, and continuing to kill, millions of muslims in the past few decades alone throughout Africa, Middle-East, Asia, and global south countries without a recent history of doing so (they are the victims rather), I for one know which not to trust.
The US colony has killed three times more civilians in its genocide in the past few months than the Russian military has in 2 years in its proxy war with the US. This isn't remotely comparable.
Who cited China?
The majority of countries denying the western claims are muslim-majority Global South ones
Always the same map
You're using alt accounts to manipulate votes, lol
Sure lmao
So you're saying 6 people independently check your comments and upvote them within less than a minute, and then come back to do it again when you comment, within a minute? Just strange is all I'm saying
The comment I replied to also had 4 upvotes and some downvotes in 1 or 2 minutes. Just means the thread is active.
Edit: Most of the new comments not taking the US's side also have exactly 3 downvotes right now. Are those alts? Lol
Love how you have to make up shit they never said because there's no argument against it.
What are you on about? This post is literally about the US...
What are you on about? Incapable of following the comment chain? I'm not a top level comment
Idk man. As far as I understood, the main post is about the US, which the comment you replied to also talked about. And then you're wondering why that person talked about the US and not other countries.
You're hilarious!
Could someone explain the joke to me? I'm not very smart.
