Pol Pot was backed by the CIA, but the Khmer Rouge did call itself communist, and there was a genocide that occurred there. The Khmer Rouge were also backed by China, if I recall. What is different this time?
Additionally, how does the reporting on Xinjiang compare to the reporting on WMDs in Iraq or the Nayirah testimony?
Basically I don't want to do a :chumpsky: and end up defending a genocidal regime. I do find it odd that the only AES country Chompsky has ever defended was one backed by the CIA. Makes you think :cap-think:
WMD stuff had absolute 0 dissenting opinion in any popular media. When france wouldn't join the war in iraq my middle school did their part in renaming french fries freedom fries. Nuke them all and racial slurs against arabs were acceptable things you'd hear daily. They played the destruction of baghdad on tv with no commentary as Americans collectively came in their pants watching 10s of thousands of civilians die.
This was the coverage of the start of the iraq war https://youtu.be/0yr-LaMhvro
The comments of that video are just... People haven't learned anything in over 15 years of this shit.
