When you count all US operations outside the US as well as within, the US is the world's worst human rights abuser. For example, US foreign actions have caused the displacement of 37 million people since 2001, according to the Guardian. Caitlyn Johnstone spells it out in one of her best threads ever I think. Sometimes I don't agree with her but here I do.
Somehow, this doesn't get counted when US complains of other human rights abuses by other countries and sanctions them. War crimes by the US are hardly mentioned by the media if at all, going back forever.
Inevitably, these sanctions end up punishing ordinary people rather than regime leaders they are supposedly targeted to.
