If you needed any more evidence that the UK is complicit in genocide.

Oh yeah, this is definitely the line in the sand. It definitely wasn't... All the genocide they directly caused or indirectly contributed to by drawing borders almost explicitly designed to cause conflict like in India, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and oh hey look Palestine is on the list. Who knew huh?

To summerize: the European governments suck, and the US is originally UK related, so it sucks by extension.

The Arab leaders are controlled by the aforementioned governments, so they suck as well.

The Asian governments are...well...they never did anything that bad in comparasion*, but I don't follow Asian news so I can't confirm.

The African governments and South American ones are too poor to afford a genocide.

Australia is too far from everything else to cause a genocide.

*Invading Ukraine is nothing compared to Europe being the source of most -or at least middle-eastern & African & south Asian- genocides throughout history.

I'm starting to remember things, thanks for reminding me, China is (was) used as an example of something being extremely far away where I live so it's easy to forget. (A saying of sorts)

Such an uninformed comment

You'd realize how dumb this assertion was if you had any clue how trade shows work.

This is literally the opening plot of Lord of War when Yuri shows up to the arms expo and the big shot UK dealer turns him away despite selling to both sides of a conflict because he wants those areas to stay destabilized lol.

A guy showing up to a trade show doesn't mean the whole country supports genocide.
