Why would you think that anyone outside of the US cares about what your regime does to you?

I'm pointing out - for the umpteenth time - the sheer hypocrisy of the West, and especially the US.

What your regime has been practising since 1945 outside of your borders has finally reached your own towns and cities, and frankly the only question I have is, what took so long?

I would expect humans to care about humans. Your judgment of hypocrisy is yours to own; you point out nothing but your own opinion.

You left umpteenth behind a long time ago; you find hypocrisy everywhere, no?

"A government that openly talks about invading other countries, threatens foreign leaders, and normalizes cross-border seizure or removal of heads of state is running the same play abroad that it runs at home: rule by fear. Outside the country, it is coercion dressed up as “security.” Inside the country, it is coercion dressed up as “law enforcement.”"

So this link was posted by someone and flagged within seconds.

"American Samoa is the only U.S. state or territory where people are born without automatic citizenship, and without the right to vote in state, federal, and most local elections anywhere outside of American Samoa."

Hypocrisy, institutionalised.
