WTF can sanction someone based on the reason they want to investigate US personnel?
What a dick. sanction here and there.
right? daniel dumbril has very good videos on this. basically US operates on "international rules based order" but to them, its optional while mandatory for the rest.
"rules for thee, not for me"

My personal opinion is, concentration camps does exist, being held unwillingly in xinjiang is true.
but those who men who left their wives and children behind while seeking refuge in overseas definately involved in some kind of terrorism indeed.
and about genocide, i dont think that is true. If can kill, why keep them locked up in a place and subjugate them for brain washing?
this, i wouldnt call them concentration camps as that meant something like genocide ed. what china is doing is sending them to these vocational training centres to be "re-educated forcefully" so they can be someone one productive in society. if youre busy being productive member of society, you wont have time to join extremist.
there was a study from western sources where most people join extremist groups cause they too free and life is tough. so they blame everything especially their gov, fueling all their anger into extremism. thats why you see extremist are very common in countries that has been sanctioned by US, as the sanction are designed as a blockade to force people into poverty, with people forced into poverty, they then will direct their blame and anger at anything, which causes uprisings.

taliban is made from local ppl, their main objective was to kick all foreign power out of the country, so ppl simply join them.
nah they dont just simply join taliban lol
put yourself in their shoes.
1. your country is invaded by foreign occupation
2. the foreign occupation installs a puppet gov and helps you to improve life but doing it in meh way
3. but at same time foreign forces then bomb gao your people and places
what do you think will happen? will they be so happy to submit to these kind of stuff? this why taliban so easily take over, the official gov just viewed as useless by the locals, they have no confidence as compared to the taliban which survived being hunted and bombing over decades
