A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman on Monday urged the United States to stop its political stunt of the temporary easing of sanctions against Syria, demanding an immediate lifting of the unilateral sanctions on the tremor-stricken country.
Speaking to a regular press conference, Wang Wenbin made the remarks commenting on the six-month sanctions exemption issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for Syria-bound humanitarian aid on Thursday, three days after massive earthquakes and aftershocks struck Türkiye and neighboring Syria.
I’m not about great/evil man theories and whatnot, but genuinely, whoever is in power fighting to keep these sanctions up is pure evil and, frankly, genocidal. Obviously can’t be that shocked given what they have done to DPRK and Cuba, but whenever I think about being someone in that position it makes me sick. How can someone know full well they’re starving literal masses of people and sleep at night? Fucking babies are stuck under thousands of pounds of rubble and all they have to say is “keep it going, anything to hurt Assad”.
I’d imagine many of them are so delusional and indoctrinated by their own bourgeois propaganda that they’re physically unable to empathize with people facing actual hardship
Pretty sure you just described the majority of the US…
