Current Affairs Shifting World Opinions - US Double Standards

An Interesting Article
“At the same time the US as a member of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine started furnishing the ICC with its evidence of war crimes, deploying a team of investigators and prosecutors to assist the Ukrainian prosecutor, general Andriy Kostin, “in documenting, preserving and preparing war crimes cases”. A more comprehensive reversal of congressional attitudes is hard to imagine.

By contrast, after two months of destruction in Gaza, the US state department has said it sees no need to begin any formal internal examination of whether Israel has committed war crimes, even though the weapons it has been using were supplied by the US, and by some counts more civilians were killed in Gaza in two months than were killed in Ukraine more than two years.

Even the news that unguided dumb bombs had been used in almost half of the Israeli strikes, or that the president himself said he feared the bombing was indiscriminate, led the State Department to say it felt the need to conduct a formal investigation into breaches of humanitarian law.

A cursory journey round the world reveals the impact this has had. The US, whether it likes it or not, risks becoming synonymous with double standards.“

No one in power is ever cowled by pointing out their hypocrisy. If that were so we'd have a better state of affairs all round. Amazing that this is being written, and published so prominently though
 
What grinds me is the US government spending billions of dollars on proxy wars when they have serious social issues they have created in their own country. Most around here hate Trump but he’s anti war and he exhibited that during his tenure at President and did more for his country and its citizens than Obama ever did. China is anti war too…..shock horror. The plot thickens….

Their power is waning I reckon, if world sentiment goes against them they are finished. We’re witnessing a new super power in China that has the real potential to displace America, even the Chinese have committed to emission goals which America is still kicking a can down the road. Trump going in again will further muddy the water.

Trump is no innocent.Trump popped some Iranian General when he was prez.
He even admitted that the were stealing Syrian Oil.
He ollegally gave Jerusalem to Israel, took $100 million form Sheldon Adelson and promoted the Oslo Accords, completely ignoring Israels violations of the agreement.

I never said he was innocent, ever played Monopoly? Absolutely no one trusts the “banker” little own everyone else and everyone around the table is out to win at all costs…playing with family is bad enough but put those guys around a monopoly table and no one is innocent. But I respect your comment.

It’s an interesting point

Have we been brainwashed in thinking capitalism is good, when in fact communism works equally well under the right leadership and buy-in?

Is it better to idolise pop culture, tik tok and sports stars under a capital model vs scientists, mathematicians and inventors under a more strict regime??

There is plenty of scope for capitalism under communism, have you heard of China..

LV and other luxury brands, hell, many international brands target Chinese with special runs celebrating Chinese culture cause that's where the money is and who's spending it. Unlike tight ass Kiwis who know sfa..

Communists Capitalism sounds like an oxymoron

But I think it can work if western ideology of being “free” is redefined

Ah yes, the old "communism is great, it just hasn't been done right yet" chestnut.
 
Dunno about the thread title.

It suggests a sea change that is somehow new.

People have known the US is dodgey for a long time now.

If anything DID speed up Anti US sentiment it was probably when they elected Trump, that put an exclamation mark on the US no longer being trustworthy or reliable in any sense of the word.

Trump is a symptom not the sickness.

The rot is that not enough people have sharing the US’s huge success and wealth.

And part of that is military costs denying the ability to provide free healthcare and social services.

The system had been hugely successful but many people feel left out and want to drain the swamp and make America great again and in their desperation and frustration will turn to a clown that will upend the system for better or worse.

The cure is not to throw the baby out with the bath water, but do things smarter with more people sharing the spoils.
 
Trump is a symptom not the sickness.
People say this line like Trump is a headache that comes and goes and is a sign of stress.

If we are talking symptoms as a metaphor then Trump is more like un explained sudden loss of consciousness prior to coma and death.

As I explained in my post, this idea that America is in decline, a kind of slide that Empires exhibit before the fall, then having Donald Trump lead the country by their choice is like saying Nero was a symptom of Rome not causative, while true in a simplistic way, the choice of Trump should have alarmed any stable society.

The exact Phrase I used was Trump was an exclamation mark....an exclamation mark is not a cause it is a highlight.
 
There are two things that show the US is fucked more than any other pattern of their behavior.

The first is their ignorant health care ideas.

They literally get angry over so called free health care, they rage against the idea of a shared payment system for all. Like it is communist.

That is how dumb these khunts are.

The other mental thing no one gets about American society is their ability to sell lives for Guns on the streets and Tobacco and booze and any other Capitalist ways to kill their population for profits.


Bit like the Tards running NZ now.
 
The major effect of China's communism is to not let capital take over. The US elites hate socialism, but they support it to bail out corporations, banks and finance hubs.

I actually agree that socialism as a system does not work, but some socialist policies work like Healthcare, fire and police services..

So American an British politicians and elites support socialism if the money benefits the rich but not the ordinary citizen.
