I don’t feel you replied to anything I have said in good faith.
That’s fine. I don’t feel like you’re here in good faith either, so I guess we’re on equal footing.
misusing the word “citation” isn’t noteworthy
I disagree. It’s a misrepresentation. These are common in your rhetoric, like your position on sanctions, but we’ll get to those in a moment.
You didn’t respond to the US artificial famine in Yemen that is active today at all.
Or any other genocide the US has participated in, but you choose to specifically call out this one.
I didn’t anticipate you talking about Russian or Chinese sanctions and wasn’t thinking that way.
Then perhaps you should be more careful with your language choices. You said sanctions are bad, but these ones aren’t. Yet you didn’t address where the line is for you, despite just admitting these ones aren’t bad. Whether they’re good or not is, presently, immaterial.
I was mentioning sanctions in regard to oil rich nations
No, you mentioned sanctions. You may have intended to be more specific, but you weren’t. No one else knows what is in your mind so if you want to discuss things in a productive manner you need to be able to do effectively. Saying one thing and meaning another is not that.
the wars and sanctions that I have looked into
Are not the entirety of the wars and sanctions that have been taken. If I judge you only by your worst actions would that be fair? This is by no means a claim that the US is any one thing or another, but pointing out that you can’t pick and choose when you’re trying to make a judgement of morality.
at the expense of starving children and causing unneeded suffering.
I will point you at any international policing action ever. Do you think innocent German children in the 1940s felt no repercussions from the war? The same question works in the 19-teens and following. Whether they’re right or not, unless you’ve got a better solution, they are, on occasion, necessary. Innocent have suffered because of the actions of the powerful, both above them and against those above them, for as long as there have been people. In the words of John Lennon, “you say you’ve got a real solution? We’d all live to see the plan”.
I don’t know where you’ll separate new lines of thought from existing ones. I frankly don’t care. You can reply to everything or nothing. It’s more important that you come to understand you do not have the position you appear to think you do. I doubt you’ll get there today, but I hope you can at some point.
