    What rules-based order? Gestures vaguely at the Middle East. Also you’re forgetting that all these countries are bankrolled by China so while they’re weakened they still have a strong backer who’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

          Civilised world:

          Where you can speak your mind.

          Is it really that hard?

          That doesn’t mean the people in those countries cannot be civilised, as people in civilised countries cannot be psycopathic murderers.

          Incoming: “USA bad”

            Have you seen the crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism in like half the Weet? If that’s youe standard for civilization then your “civilized world” is gonna be two or three countries tops.

            That doesn’t mean the people in those countries cannot be civilised, as people in civilised countries cannot be psycopathic murderers.

            I legit don’t understand what you mean there.

                Uh… Look up “crackdowns on pro-Palestine activists” and see what you’ll get. It’s mostly a thing in university campuses, which while definitely not as bad as China is absolutely not free speech.

                  No one article in the whole EU comes up, guess I just have to trust you on this one.

                  Or are you one of those crazy “free speech” americans?
