EU IS an accomplice to genocide! A co-conspirator, and enabler! Countries in rest of the Global South better watch and take notes! Because behind all that flowery language they give you about :”human rights”, “equality under law” and “democratic values”? This, what you are seeing with your eyes?? This is the truth! Their words are meant to deceive and control leaders of the Global South, the actions? That’s where the truth lies.
Remember all that BS talk about Globalization, promote international trade & “level playing field”? Once China began to overtake US economy and tech sector, all that BS stopped stat! Now US is trying to stifle China’s economic growth with a vengeance! First US pretended it was for “National Security Interests”, now? They are not even bothering to pretend anymore. They are just flat out stifling China’s tech sector! Can you imagine! The US is trying to force tech companies in THE NETHERLANDS to renege on servicing equipment they sold to China! Yes! And the govt of the Netherlands is going along with this egregious breech of standard business practice!
I say all this to say what? To say that there are no standards, no norms, practices or values for Western countries. The only thing standard is that they will do whatever they need to do to keep control of the rest of the world. When you understand that, you understand their behavior in every circumstance.
