    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.
