      You type “i dont think its ok to torture people” as a response to a news article about people being tortured, and somebody pops up with a history lesson about what your country did before you were born so maybe you should firebomb your own capital city instead of saying that other countries shouldn’t commit attrocities etc etc etc its 99% of the time somebody from .ml

        And it doesn’t make any sense to begin with what they’re saying. They’ll contradict themselves constantly, had one say the USA is authoritarian then in the next post say such a thing doesn’t exist.

        America is arming over 80% of all dictatorship globally, not China, not Russia, not Iran, not North Korea, etc

        If you see human rights and democracy as a universal principle, then this makes America the least democratic, most brutal regime in the world.

        But you don’t, these are just selective privileges you enjoy on the backs of the oppressed, a weaponized cudgel to steal natural resources from developing nations.

        Even most other Americans realize this, but are helpless to stop it because this isn’t a democracy, especially in terms of our foreign policy.

          Your post is literally what yermaw is talking about.

          Instead of flooding the comments with Russian propaganda, why don’t you answer this question: Do you think Russia is doing a good thing or a bad thing in Ukraine?

            And it’s not like Russia and China haven’t flooded the markets with their own weapons as well. Most of the middle east uses Soviet era weaponry and if they have them tanks. My understanding there’s not as much armour in use in Africa but what do you see more of there, the AR or AK?

              There’s a reason Tony Gilroy made AK blasters in Andor. The AK is the weapon of liberation. M16/ARs are the weapons of the oppressors. The whole world knows this for a reason except you

              Russia is very liberating the Sahel from centuries of colonialism.

              When they start pulling shit like the CFA franc, then you can talk. Until then, please shut the fuck up.
