Its a massive, wholesale violation of human rights, which can then be used as further justification for more atrocities and calamity at the hands of the US' military industrial complex ..
And yes, the USA is still the worlds worst violator of human rights, bar none. The NSA is why.
Russia is invading a sovereign country right now. Civilians are getting killed. You'll hopefully agree that getting killed is a human rights violation?
Saudi Arabia is invading Yemen.
North Korea is running a giant state apparatus that lets one man lord it over tens of millions; all his whims are satisfied while they go literally hungry.
Venezuela is ruled by a dictator - millions are hungry and poor. Families torn apart by mass emigration.
China has 1.5 BILLION people in economic and political pseudo-slavery. They don't really own anything and are more or less forced to go along with the government.
But boo-hoo, the NSA can read your texts, so they're the ultimate bad guy?
The USA is invading a sovereign country right now. It has occupied 1/3rd of its territory with the specific goal of denying the people of that nation access to those resources needed to rebuild their shattered state.
>Civilians are getting killed.
The USA has dropped a bomb on innocent people every twenty minutes for the last twenty years. The state of Ukraine today is not even close to the atrocities committed by the USA.
>The open genocide of Yemen by a known fascist totalitarian authoritarian dictatorship, with the support of the US military
Saudi Arabia has been sold the weapons it needs for its genocide by the USA. The genocide of Yemen is 100% on the American people - it wouldn't happen without your states' complicity. All those resources being provided to 'stop' the 'genocide of Ukraine' - where are they while 10 million Yemeni children are being starved to death?
North Korea? They wish they had the ability to govern their nations mindset the way the West does.
China has lifted a billion people out of poverty into their new middle class. The USA, meanwhile, has all but eradicated its middle class.
The NSA are violating human rights at massive scale; the USA is the worlds #1 supporter of terror and exporter of calamity, and has committed decades of war crimes, crimes against humanity and massive violations of human rights at scale - with impunity - precisely because of the utter ignorance citizens (or are you military) such as yourself demonstrate...
And yes, the USA is still the worlds worst violator of human rights, bar none. The NSA is why.
