Current Affairs China

[LostLegend]

I'd imagine they went there in support of their brother Muslims. Nobody can argue that the Saudi's have an abysmal human right record. Their bombing of Yemeni woman and children using American supplied arms is particularly horrific.

The thing is, I’d doubt any sincerity from the Arab league on that point. The amount of hostile, often murderous infighting between the different sects of Islam is well known.

Yemen, which you mentioned above, is a majority Islamic country, yet there seems to be little action from the Arab league for an atrocity caused by their own people in their own backyard.

I would doubt they care much for a marginal group when there’s big money contracts and important alliances with the Chinese at stake.

Such is the way of the world, sadly.

Never called anyone a liar,just quote a post where I have. I think it's up to the mods where I post.

Aye right.

Aye right.

I'll take that as a no.

Odd you dodged the issue of US supplied arms the Saudis use.

Didn’t dodge anything. I was talking about the Arab League and how much they actually care about the plight of the Uyghurs and of other Muslims if and when it suits them.

Western arms turn up in the hands of questionable regimes the world over. It’s a disgrace and those overseeing their sale have blood on their hands also.

One quick search and you have this for starters and I’ve seen this plenty of other times

Current Affairs - Ukraine

A peacekeeping force would only take position after a ceasefire had been negotiated,but sadly the US who effectively call the shots in the West are making too much money out of the present situation. *does full Lewis Black double-take complete with sound effects* I don't think you understand...

You can try to obfuscate and dance around all you want.

If you don’t like what you hear you simply suggest they have no expertise in the subject matter.

Bit underhand tbh. Dunno why you bother.

"Turn up" well that's one way to put it.
It's strange as a society how we look at human rights abuses. We condemn the countries who enact them but the countries who support them economically we tend to ignore.

UK: Court to Rule on Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia

The United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice is scheduled to hear a challenge to the UK government’s renewed arms sales to Saudi Arabia this afternoon.

The Saudis play both sides,they support China and it's treatment of brother Muslims and yet enjoy US and UK support in their treatment of the Yemenis

Wow, it’s almost like you only read the parts of my post that you wanted to and ignored the rest. Not like you at all…

Just quoted the bit that stood out. Human rights abuses happen all over the world,how they are acted upon very much depends on economic alliances. Guantanamo Bay still has inmates who've been held there for decades without trial,where's the social media outrage?

Still looking for a post where I've called someone a liar. Not agreeing with their point of view isn't the same. But then you know that.

You’re right.
But this is the China thread, that’s why people are discussing China and not Guantanamo Bay.

And we never did get the background to his squaddie mates...it was a request. I was interested but never got a reply. Hardly calling someone a liar however you try to twist it.

You called them make believe squaddie mates, implying that he made them up. Are you actually just completely thick?
