> Some would say that the difference is the USA (for now at least) has a free press?

Does it? Because the white house has been retaliating against any press that doesn't show them in a good light - like Associated Press.



US engages with its colony in ME, in worst crimes known to international law. Like crimes of aggressive war (in Syria and Yemen), and genocide, aka destruction of a group of people and its society (in Palestine).

Nobody in power in other western countries seems to be batting an eye publicly about it. Yet they bat quite a bit about Uyghur genocide (but not too much either, since EU depends a lot on Chinese trade), etc.

Seems like a free pass, due to wanting that sweet US military HW or "protection", or whatever other sociopathic considerations.
