Democrats and Republicans have blood on their hands. Ethnic cleansing has been and will be American policy. Trump is vulgar and venal but he's just saying the quiet part out loud.

Why do both of you think ethnic cleansing is wrong when it is the other guy doing it? Where is your humanity?

Propagandistic pish. Grow up.

I don't think it distracts, it helps clarify. The Uyghurs are a rhetorical device, not a genuine concern.

This is about political and economic power, not about human rights.

The US is a declining empire that is trying to retard the rise of China as a competitor.

It is big power politics.

It's clearly just pointing out the hypocrisy of people trying to use moral arguments. Do you think they'd be happy if they applied the same moral criteria to the US-Israel genocide in Gaza which is orders of magnitude worse?

Immoral? Political reality has nothing to do with morality, or else he would have called it morality.

The political reality is that you can be morally indignant about the oppression of the Uyghurs but not the genocide of Palestinians.

It's the new Cold War politics and power plays.
