Why does China need to extend its police to patrol globally exactly?
Not to defend either, but why does the United States. It's wrong for either. But at least if a country's leadership invites them in. That's on the leadership. And while I'm still for basic gun control. Hungary, if you're listening, don't let them take all your guns. As much as the cult members in the US babble about nothing. If it ever actually happened, the outcome has never been good.
I dearly love all these down votes. LOL. By being unhypocritical and consistent, it's somehow enough to piss all of y'all off. Even though I agree that China doing this is bad. Simply because I said it's bad when the US has done it in the past as well. You all lose your shit.
Actually looking back on this now. I can kind of see how this may have stirred up so many of you. I said China was wrong for doing this. That stirred up the Marxist leninists and tankies. But also pointed out that it's wrong for America or any other country to do that. Which brought out a screeching horde of neoliberal apologists and imperials. Then I said I supported gun control. Which stirred up the hornet's nest of conservatives. But said that they should protect their access to guns to defend themselves against what's to come. Which just pissed off neoliberals again. I guess there's something mildly heartwarming about it. When you can see groups that so often hypocritically fight against each other so much. Actually be able to come together and attack the same thing/person. Because their shared hypocrisy was exposed.
Do US police patrol the streets of cities overseas? First I’ve heard of it.
Military police? Absolutely. China's police are in service to the state much like military police. It definitely tracks.
