>> Absolutely. I didn't pick "70" randomly. > ... prick move. No it isn't. Also, aren't you German (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31001842 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31001842)? Would you agree that the lesson of Nazi Germany is Germans have no grounds to criticize any human rights abuses anywhere in the world ever again? Why are you criticizing the US for human rights abuses? Aren't you a hypocrite? Shouldn't we be talking about the Holocaust, right now? After all, what China's doing here pales in comparison to that atrocity. They're only imprisoning one million, while Germany murdered six million.

Thats fine, where is your Nürnberg Trials equivalent? Which of your politicians have been hanged or gone to jail? Worse, why should we accept Nürnberg as right and just, when the US continuously gets away with their crimes?

  > Thats fine, where is your Nürnberg Trials equivalent? Which of your politicians have been hanged or gone to jail? There is none, because the US didn't lose an aggressive war during which it also exterminated six million people based on ethnicity. No one in Germany would have been hanged for Nazi crimes if it hasn't lost a war totally. When you don't lose like that, past human rights abuses are handled differently. For instance, the US government has formally apologized to Japanese Americans for wartime internment and paid reparations for it.

    > because the US didn't lose an aggressive war Saigon didn't happen, sure. I get it. The US needs to loose, totally. I think the EU should ally up with China and Russia. Korea and Vietnam will probably also want to join us.

      > I think the EU should ally up with China and Russia. Korea and Vietnam will probably also want to join us. So is this about human rights, or just monomaniacal anti-Americanism? I'm sure you're aware of the quite Nazi-like aggressive war of conquest happening in Eastern Europe right now, where civilians are being indiscriminately shelled. Why would you want to ally with a country doing something like that?

        Go fix your own country first before pointing at others.
