  8.  @patriciawilkes5079  Sorry this is longish. Its a great point you raise but its also not a simple answer. In respect of Fentanyl absolutely we should have come down hard on China. Its a straight forward thing for them to fix and it doesn't cost them squat politically. However in terms of war crimes, imperialism and other crap you can't compare those to illicit drugs, because they are just so different politically. That's not to say its not worth discussing but its a very different discussion AND I will agree with you its a discussion that needs to be had. 1) There are so many countries either tacitly or actively involved with America in those issues that its way more complex than something like Fentanyl. 2) Both China and Russia do the same or worse and have been doing the same or worse for decades. Other than what Russia is doing right now in Ukraine the Chinese just claimed a vast slab of the biggest shipping channel in the world. Go look where the Spratly Islands actually are. They're not even close to the Chinese mainland compared to Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Then there is Uyghur genocide that's going on and that's been quietly put aside for the moment. So I would agree that to come down on China over Fentanyl and then NOT address the issues of American, Russian and Chinese imperialism is WRONG. But one of those problems can be dealt with quickly while the other is incredibly complex. Don't forget that neither America nor Russia nor China nor a bunch of others are current signatories to the ICC. So how do you arrest and try anyone form those countries? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court I actually hate when Americans start howling about holding people from other countries accountable for War Crimes. America withdrew its support for the court system it helped set up after WW2 and it used to try, convict and execute Nazis. Its a subject that can't even be officially discussed or the GOP start screaming and 100 million Americans start waving guns and flags and threatening to nuke everything in sight. The Russian's and Chinese do similar. If you can tell me how we drag George Bush and others off to the Hague over Iraq then fine, but don't say something stupid like "Just arrest them!" John Bolton one of the worst criminals of that whole disaster currently travels the world on a diplomatic passport. He was here in Australia recently and I couldn't believe nobody challenged him. But then he has blanket immunity and travels with a team trigger happy US Secret Service agents. So its not easy.
