    China is #2 in military spending after the USA.

    China plus the next 13 countries on the list can’t total US military spending. And I don’t even know if Israel + Ukraine should count, given how much of their military budget is just US foreign aid.

    As for harassing brown people: well there’s the whole Uyghur thing.

    The original “evidence” of 1 million Uyghurs in concentration camps stems from US propaganda outlets and far-right “researchers” like Adrian Zenz. These numbers could not be independently verified, and other media sources that repeat these claims merely cite each other or this original, US-backed research. Zenz himself is a known antisemitic conspiracy theorist, far-right evangelical, and Islamophobe who has written that the Jews who refuse to convert to Christianity will be wiped out by God in a “fiery furnace”. Why would a German with such hateful views toward Jews and Muslims be such a champion of Uyghur rights? It was later found that Zenz had received $625,000 from Donald Trump’s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon to help him fabricate the story of Uyghur genocide.

    Brother, you are sucking from the tailpipe of propaganda while your country is drowning in the blood of native peoples.

        there is actual evidence…

        Satellite imagery and open-source geographic data

        Buddy…

        Amnesty International verified the human right abuses independently.

        Thanks for that

      Nice genocide denial.

      Also I’m not American nor pro-American.

        genocide denial

        Brother, get your ass to Afghanistan and say that to any of the survivors of the US occupation.

        You don’t care what genocide is. You just want some foreigner to eat your sins.

        Also I’m not American

        Did you clap for Yaroslav Hunka with the rest of your ilk?
