Well, the US pioneered this approach with the "School of the Americas" (currently named "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation"), notorious for training south American dictators, secret police, and death-squads.

This is par for the course for any nation or alliance with desires to extend its power globally. I am very tired of people treating China as some terrifying exception with no comparison.

It IS a terrifying exception for 2023.

They're going point by point with the worst of the US's imperialism of the last decade.

Are supposed to not be terrified at slavery because it was once common in the US? What?

This does not justify another dictator training camp, does it?
