@thejapantimes western liberals are like "oh think of the poor Uyghurs forced to make my lovely iphone... Or wait this isn't China, who cares if Muslims are being persecuted let alone ethnically cleansed. Lets give them some funding, weapons and training from IDF". /S
@thejapantimes As long as the Burmese junta is able to grift off the poor country it has zero incentive to allow democracy while the chinese and russian regimes keep giving them weapons.
To support democracy anywhere we all should defund and disempower its enemies everywhere.
russia is finally facing some consequences but china is still a makebelieve trading partner for some reason.
