The US tells us we’re so free and we have all these press freedoms and journalists don’t get killed etc. How ‘free’ are you when you incarcerate the most humans per capita? The most of the world, even. Who are these prisoners? Journalists? ‘Dictators’ of ‘bad actor’ nations? Dissident voices? Protestors? Activists? Please, tell us! And, just an FYI about your earlier claim that Russia ‘wants to be a new empire’ and how ‘we’ need to be scared of Putin (even though they have never even remotely expressed any desire to expand or become some kind of world-power, please provide evidence to the contrary, I have not seen one shred of it yet..):
USA: 85 foreign military bases (some of its larger allies, the UK has 17, and France: 13!)
China: 4
Russia: 8
Ooh, we must be so scared of Russia and China! Besides, if China or Russia did not have nuclear weapons, the US/NATO would have Yugoslavianized them a long time ago.
And let us not forget that *the reason* the USSR started making nuclear weapons in the late 1950s was solely because of the US having dropped nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 without proper (military) motive.
Im not so sure ignoring them is going to stop them..they will just be back after their coffee break at Langley. After all suckng off for the empire makes them thirsty to wash down their pay grade spew.
So you would compare evildoers and vote for the lesser evil? Is it more evil to virtue signal and do the opposite than to do what you say you are going to do? Where is your evidence? Are you a ghost in the machine?
Recently, we have Assange, Khashoggi, the journalist killed in Palestine, the CENSORSHIP of all journalists who disagree with the official narratives from Russia gate, the Hunter laptop, Syria, Covid, and this ugly proxy war in Corrupt Ukraine.
For the record I am for free speech and a free press everywhere. I do not know what it is like in other countries. I know they did not exist in Chile where I lived under the right-wing dictatorship installed and supported by the US.
One can assume, Carol that you are referring the criminal reign of Pinochet. Yes, thanks to the USA acting in promoting a dictator on behalf of American mining and business interests in murdering a democratically elected president.
So much time I spent during those years in following the cruel happenings in Chile and getting to know and better understand the Chilean people as a result. I also developed a liking for some of the music from that country with a favourite becoming Illapu. Never understood what they were saying/singing, my skills not encompassing the Spanish language, but loved the music, the passion and the audience reactions.
Fine people, all deserving at that time of a far better life, free of US installed dictators.
I had great respect for Allende and lost all respect for America.
Liberation theology was a wonderful movement in Latin America. Unfortunately most of the Catholic hierarchy did not support it and many priests and nuns lost their lives. The 60s until the coup in 73 were an exciting time for many with land reform and free University education and calls for social justice. Too bad the US interfered. A lot of good music in those times also.
"has there ever been a more hypocritical country than the USA"
Every eastern country, they murder journalists on daily basis while pretending to care about human rights.
Even the lowest low of the west is still higher than the ceiling of the east, because the west is on the top floor and the east is in the basement.
And who is telling you this fairy tale? Do you happen to live here in the great US of Assholes?
