The study shows the excess death of children due to the sanctions. Medicine among other vital supplies were blocked because of so-called dual purpose use. In the past, they used to call such sanctions sieges. And sieges can cause more death than direct action and often in more tragic ways. Madeleine Albright knew it for what it was and owned it but apologists like you can't accept the blemish on their whiteness.

Again, the true test that demonstrates your racism is to consider that what the US and the 'west' did to Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Vietnam, Korea, Yemen and many, many other countries would be acceptable in your view to be done to your own dear town, city and country. It would not. Yet you defend the indefensible. That is why you're a racist.

On top of that, you want to sanitize the common term 'racism' by calling it 'culturalism'. Go ahead, your sanitizing the crimes of the 'west' much exceed this niggling matter in crassness.

As for my arguments, you agreed that the US has done monstrous things but you assert that it was by ignorance and later by irrationality. At the same time, you assert that China is bad with evidence to the contrary. Your hypothesis of ‘atrocities by ignorance or irrationality’ is to be weighed against ‘willful atrocities for gain and dominance’. As for your ‘friends’ who agree with you or who exhibit irrationality, you’re asking people who have been propagandized to the extreme. I’ve lived 22 years in the US and it was very clear when a US war of aggression was looming (even against tiny Grenada) because the media would start riling people months in advance … That does not mean that the real drivers of the political-military-industrial complex don’t know what they’re doing. People like you are simply driven by their racist noses to wherever the oligarchs of the ‘west’ desire.
