The media and politicians tell us China is bad, and America is good.
China tells us they are not bad and violating human rights.
Why do we need to believe the Australian government again?
Last time they did electoral interference on us to vote to invade Iraq and then we find out they lied on purpose and put the blood of innocent children on our conscience, not as collateral damage but as a lie for hegemony.
Why should we trust them now? Why should we swallow their propaganda and electoral interference and talk about how bad China is and demonize China?
Why should we not, as responsible Australian citizens, oppose EVERYTHING that is international relations as espoused by the national security people?
They lied about Iraq. They admit it now. The electoral interfered us and killed a whole bunch of innocents in that game of Devil worship.
So why do we now need to invoke evil spirits to spread demonized energy surrounding China?
How can we trust them? Look at the poison we are surrounded with by them. We are talking about innocent lives here being destroyed due to the spread of their evil power maintenance.
So why should we trust them now?
Spatch, your assessment is overly simplistic. The people who lied about Iraq, have not admitted it. In fact, they claim the US military should have stayed on, and the rise of ISIS was the result of withdrawing.
Hegemony was not the intention of the Bush administration. immediately after 911. The Bush administration needed to look tough, and Saddam was an easy target. THis also protected their longtime friends in Saud Arabia.
The most prominent and respected media platforms like the BBC, and The Guardian, espouse a journalism highly critical of US policy.
Why should we trust them over China? The answer is, we don't. A great percentage of Americans and Australians were not taken in by the Bush admin's claims about Saddam being behind 911 or the WMD.
But when we look at the US and China, we see one has a government legally open to criticism, with regular elections that can change policy. It is not perfect, but the other is a police state, with a static ideological dictatorship and media censorship.
Anyone who trusts China is extremely gullible. Demonising America for its failings, will not make the world a better place.
