  1.  @turtlecraft7996  Except the "western democracies" give more foreign aid to the world than the rest of the world does. Read a book.

  2.  @chenglee9868  When on the same team, yeah, it's a superpower, absolutely. When USA, Russia and China all say yes or no together, it is yes or no, end of conversation. The problem is VETO power.

  3. ​ @richardgaotama3466  UN didn't want to take action against Soleimani even though he was slaughtering Sunni Muslims and declared that he would create a pure Shi'a state from Syria to Afghanistan. The only way for Myanmar to survive and thrive is to finally get rid of Chinese influence, official and criminal.

  4.  @okko3777  Regarding the UN? Because China veto's everything. China has veto'd something like 10 of the last 12 UN security resolutions. "One belt, One road" or whatever they're calling it is their only concern. China's only concern is China. They don't follow environmental regulations. They don't follow humanitarian regulations. They don't follow international maritime laws. They don't follow international fishing boundaries. The list goes on.... and on... and on.... How about the thousands of Chinese on Western social media creating problems, being racist etc? Over 3 million people being illegally detained for their religion.... And you wonder why the PRC is a problem?

  5.  @Meteorknite  What do you think is happening in the middle east? Do you know what the actual objectives are and who is working with who? Have you seen Afghanistan lately?

  6.  @haikal0475  btw, The UN has 90,905 uniformed, 111,512 total peacekeepers. Your math is off. See how you're going back and deleting comments when you're called out for how wrong you are? How about, instead of doing that, you actually research a thing before commenting on it, yeah? Save yourself some face and spare everyone your ignorance.

  7.  @okko3777  Solemani? He travelled into a combat zone, in Iraq.... The USA has been in Iraq with a coalition of...what was it, 32 nations? For a long time now. That's not unilateral. Even if it were, he was a genocidal maniac who declared that he would create a pure Shi'a state.

  8.  @okko3777  Learn to read.

  9.  @okko3777  You didn't actually ask a question, you made an ignorant assumption, that's why you need to learn to read. So you mean China isn't vetoing UN resolutions? So you mean China isn't illegally detaining over 3 million people? We can both play that game.

  11.  @poseidon61  Buddy, you can now see green in Afghanistan from space due to drip irrigation implemented by US Army engineers. Stop talking out of your rear.

  12.  @poseidon61  Here you go... "An estimated $143 billion of African debt to Chinese lenders has been racked up over two decades of record lending" China isn't giving anyone money, they are doing debt forgiveness and deferral just like everyone else. The only difference is that China is asking for collateral, state owned property. The IMF didn't turn anything down. Do your research.

  13. China is part of the UN, smart guy.

  14.  @Meteorknite  You say "middle east" but I don't think you really know what you're talking about... What country? What do you think is happening in said country?

  15.  @justnnyf4108  Uhhh, no, I'm not anti-Chinese. I'm anti-PRC. Are you not? You agree with the imprisonment of over 3 million people for thought crime? Or are you just willfully ignorant?
    4
  16.  @okko3777  So you mean China SHOULD be interfering in other countries and using their citizens for cheap labor while destroying their agriculture, people and land for profit?
    4
  17.  @okko3777  So you mean that the US and EVERY OTHER COUNTRY that went should have let Hussein attack his neighbors with chemical weapons?
    4
  18.  @okko3777  You mean that you don't understand that for a UN resolution to pass that it needs 9 affirmative votes and no veto from any permanent member?

  19.  @freepalestine4344  Like who? Where? What are you referring to? C'mon, don't just spew ignorance and not back it up, give specifics.

  20.  Dhruv Gupta  Ouch.... yeah... all the jokes stop when that comes up.

  21.  @poseidon61  Also, "you think by giving aid is helping"... Yes, without question. The top aid to Africa comes from... United States $34.73 billion Germany $25.01 billion United Kingdom $18.10 billion European Union $16.44 billion
    4
  22.  @poseidon61  Allow me to elaborate; Beyond the $35 billion - This does not include considerable U.S. assistance provided to Africa via global accounts, such as emergency humanitarian aid and certain kinds of development, security, and health aid. It does not include contributions from organizations such as FAPA or EPSA. The United States channels additional funds to Africa through multilateral bodies, such as the United Nations and World Bank. The USA is by FAR the global leader in foreign financial and humanitarian aid giving more than the rest of the world combined in total assistance. Even China was taking US aid until 2018.

  23.  @poseidon61  Yes... money = development. International Finance Corporation, projected $3.7b investment, creating schools, food security and more in Africa. Aid = Infrastructure. See how that works?

  24. That's not what's happening here... This is SPECIFICALLY about China abusing workers.

  25. Search article; Chinese Crime Networks Partner with Myanmar Armed Groups Amid the pandemic, murky Chinese firms build huge enclaves in Karen State, threatening prospects for peace. Casinos, oil pipelines, China and Chinese triads have been setting this up for a LONG time.

  26.  @okko3777  I don't think you understand the context of the events. No league of nations, no UN, countries had to independently and unilaterally declare war. It's a bit more complex than a box of crayons, words mean more than you think they mean. Context, it matters. I'm not going to play the "i'm rubber, you're glue" game with you.

  27.  @okko3777  US was in Vietnam due to a formal declaration by Congress. The US also knew other countries would declare on the same day. It's not the same for Myanmar. The USA is not the police of the world. Military action costs money. Are you going to pay? People like you will complain either way. Go, don't go, your news will have something bad to say about it and you'll repeat it.

  28.  @okko3777  Point is, the UN will not do anything (duh) and the USA will not go without Congress or a UN resolution which won't happen.
    3
  29.  @okko3777  So you mean that the US should take action without the UN?

  30.  @okko3777  So you mean the missile strike on Solemani was unilateral? (it wasn't, he was in a combat zone in Iraq, smart guy)
    3
  31.  @okko3777  So you mean China isn't mistreating workers?
    3
  32.  @okko3777  So you mean that the Burmese military is doing the wrong thing because it hurts China?
    3
  33.  @okko3777  You mean that you don't understand the context of a unilateral military action in not having a requirement to perform an action alone but to have the capacity and willingness to perform it regardless of the actions of other nations? Do you need a thesaurus?

  34.  @shuaili595  .... don't be naive. Thee triads have ran the golden triangle for a loooong time. Look what they did to the Karen people. This is absolutely, without question, because of China.

  35.  @jacksins1431  That will never happen, their military are genocidal war criminals owned by the PRC. Ask the Karen people. See the Rambo movie from Myanmar? It's pretty accurate...

  36. Lost most function in my right hand a few years ago, severed at the wrist, all tendons and nerves. For my first physical therapy appointment, the receptionist was missing most of her left arm but was flipping through papers like anyone else would've been. I can't really use my hand but it hasn't had anywhere near the impact on my life as something like this. We never truly understand until we're in the same boat. The strength these people have to not just give up, it's inspiring.

  37.  @omnomnom5359  A government is not its people. The people did not vote for internment camps. The people did not vote for internet censorship. The people don't really have a choice in the matter. The entire military is owned by a single party.

  38.  @okko3777  What I mean is, we can't go unless someone there asks us to or the UN votes to intervene. The UN will obviously not and no official body is asking for US intervention. Besides that, it would be hard to convince Congress to intervene.

  39.  @plestine897  Nooo, they're closer to Thai or India people. China = triads. Triads run golden triangle.

  40. That's...not..reality.... It was PM Thaksin who stole money... where are you all getting this trash rhetoric? China?

  41. China and Philippines have both ratified UNCLOS. The fake 9 dash line was created in 2009. The Hague International Tribunal has already concluded that China's claim has no legal basis.

  46.  @okko3777  The USA has not performed unilateral military action since Vietnam.

  47.  @okko3777  So no, Solemani was not a unilateral action. Although, the retaliatory strike on the Syrian airport after the chemical attack was, but no boots hit the ground, not a single troop was activated. edit; actually no, Trump did that alone without the approval of Congress.

  48.  @okko3777  Besdies, seems I don't need to; The American-led intervention in the Syrian Civil War refers to the United States-led support of the Syrian rebels and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) during the course of the Syrian Civil War, including Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) until the withdraw to Iraq in 2019. So no, it wasn't unilateral either.
