(62,325 posts)Imperial powers in countries across the globe. NO ONE is going to allow us to do that. We have ZERO moral authority anymore, so whine all you want about other countries, but expect, as we see now on a regular basis, our whining totally dismissed while the world points out what I just did, see China, Russia, Latin America, African nations, all pointing several fingers back at us.
Why? Because we CELEBRATE our War and Wall St. Criminals. We protect them from prosecution, we dismiss all efforts from their victims to try to get some kind of justice, and many of those VICTIMS are from countries in Europe, in Canada, the ME, all over the world we KIDNAPPED citizens and tortured them in our detention centers, men WOMEN and CHILDREN.
If YOU think that anyone around the globe is going to forget all this so YOU can enjoy pointing fingers elsewhere, I am doing you the favor of presenting you with what you will hear in return.
When WE decided to move forward from War and Wall St crimes, we lost ALL rights to point fingers ANYWHERE.
We killed over one million people over the past decade, maybe more, tortured and maimed untold numbers of others. Do you SERIOUSLY think all that has been forgotten? Did you HEAR what the protesters from the Arab Spring had to say about the US interfering in THEIR revolutions?
Maybe here in the insulated US people actually do believe we can hide away our own crimes then have the arrogance to attack others for ANYTHING, but if that is the case they have not been READING what CHina and other countries have said to us when we dared to point fingers their way.
THAT IS A FACT! Sorry if you refuse to accept it. Until WE show the world that we believe in Human Rights and punish our own war criminals, we have no moral authority and no business interfering in any more countries. Facts are inconvenient, for some. But for those who love this country they are ESSENTIAL if it is ever to have its own democracy restored.
