Lets not equate what the Russians and the Chinese are doing with what the US does. Yes, the CIA did horrible things, but that is now a long time ago. Russians are still poisoning their defectors, the Chinese are running concentration camps today. That's all of a very different order, not to say for a very different purpose, however misguided.

These things are still happening.
- refurb 6y agoLet me get this straight, you’re saying that the US holding foreigners in detention centers, who are asking for asylum, is the same as rounding up all Muslims and putting them in camps because they are Muslim?
- brnt 6y agoWhile awful in their own right, it's important to understand the difference in both scale and reason between such border camps and e.g. Uyghur camps.
- simonblack 6y agoCIA did horrible things, but that is now a long time ago. The CIA is very much alive today. They are still very active in Latin America, in Europe and in Asia. If you believe they are no longer doing 'horrible things', we have lots and lots of bridges for you to buy.
- freshhawk 6y agoNo, I'm equating it. As do most people around the world. You should read more varied news sources. "did" ... peak american move there.
