I don't think it's so much complaining about wokeness itself as noting the US's unfortunate habit to attempting to force this down the throats of other countries, which seems likely to go down as well as, well, every other time the US has tried to force an abstract ideology down another country's throat (eg. democracy in Iraq or Afghanistan).

I am still waiting to see capital charges filed under US law against instigators and eager participants in the torture regime. Just turning the perps over to the ICC, upon conviction in the US, would satisfy me, such that returning them to the US after prosecution there would be followed by their immediate execution. Keelhauling would be too good for them.
