That was sort of my point, though. The idea that our elites are now going to take a harder line on China for their involvement with Russia is laughable, given what they've turned a blind eye to in the past.
There's too much money on the table for them to risk angering China.
Who is this "we", that has a responsibility, nay duty, to protect the Uighurs from their own government? It sounds as if "we" must be the Global Police Force, an idea that I find rather frightening.
Bad stuff is happening all over the world; it's been going on forever. It's bad, and we don't like it; but that doesn't mean we all have some kind of moral duty to go to war to try and make things less bad. That would be a recipe for permanent global war.
