"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K78jqx9fx2I&amp;t=2h55m00s"">2:55:00</a> Dude", are you really defending that? Do you have any idea how many people the US fucked around the world? The Kmer Rouge crimes in Camboja were the results of war crimes committed by the US. If we go back to 2008, then, dude .... really? There's a difference between the US and China with respect to the idea you proposed: financial punishment hits the population and the Chinese people are not responsible for those actions but the US people are. <br><br>Interestingly, the points Mr. Metzl does on the "Government Transparency" section are fitting to the US as well. The US started demolishing the power of the UN during the Korean war when the US (who was commanding the UN troops) decided to cross the 37th parallel. We don't need to go that far into the past: the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions were both ilegal. The reason Afghanistan did not extradite Osama was the fact that he was not yet convicted and no legal extradition request was sent - they also did not know where he was. <br><br>As you know, the Japanese expansion during the early 20th century was based on the good results the British empire had and, in the same matter, the Chinese government is basing their behavior on the US' behavior. The best thing to do is lead by example: just like the US missed 9/11 (even though you had information that could have been used to avoid it) you also missed the pandemic since you had information about it prior to the first news being released. If you want to be a golden city on a hill then you must own your goals.<br><br>The commander of the USS Vincennes received a medal for his actions in the Gulf - among his actions was the shooting of a Iranian Airlines comercial airplane. Why did he get a medal? Why wasn't him expelled from the Navy?
