    On balance, the West is a far better influence on the world

    NATO has bombed and destroyed not just Iraq, but the majority of the middle east. It runs an occupation force even today in Syria. NATO colonized Iraq’s agriculture, which is now dependent on imports from NATO while it feeds pasta to Texan schools. NATO has transformed Libya into an open air slave market, flooded Syria with weapons, backed Israeli Apartheid, couped the government of Pakistan, and caused a famine in Afghanistan on their way out by sanctioning yet another people. Out of spite.

    NATO has couped and propagandized it’s way across Latin America. It claims outright that they won’t stop blockading Venezuela until it’s oil is owned by american shareholders. So not only bombs, deaths by starvation and lack of medicine are perfectly fine for the organization.

    NATO runs a colonial empire across Africa. One of it’s leading voices, France, owns the finances and natural resources of dozens of countries, assassinating its way into total dominance. Then it gives some scraps back to those colonies, and calls it ‘Foreign Aid’. Berating the poors for being so dependent. Once challenged, NATO has yet again chosen to starve people to death with trade wars on basic infrastructure, food, and medicine.

    I’m Brazilian. When the Bolsonaro family was literally calling Chinese monkeys on twitter the Chinese were remarkably patient. The USA berates us for being anti-american because we aren’t grateful of how Biden chose not to coup us last year.

    There are no fucking standards for comparison.

    The West is a defensive alliance of warmongerers. The Americans at least have the decency of wearing their thirst for blood on their sleeve. It’s the Europeans who will cry on TV while sending volunteers to Iraq and Afghanistan.
