i appreciate your optimism about human nature and, of course, the citizens of these evil regimes are not all evil. Of course not. I adore the Chinese people and have had many friends there over the years. But the Saudis murdered an Amercian resident who spoke the truth. That happened. The Russians routinely murder dissidents. The Chinese torture Uyghurs, every single day. They abuse Christians and truth-tellers. We kill African Amercians and mentally ill people here in the US and the police are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever held accountable. Licensed murderers.

I could go on all month...
