> The West is way to cooperative with regimes like Erdogan, Modi, the UAE or Qatar. To name a few.
I fail to understand how Modi (and likely Erdogan), who are elected representatives, are at the same level as the UAE or Qatar.
"Look at the human right violations they've done!"
Not defending them, but then would you add Bush/Obama/Trump to the list (between Guantanamo Bay/all the middle east military "interventions") Or how Assange is still being treated by the US?
I'm not trying to flame-bait, but if a leader is a democratically elected rep is conflated with autocracies that's not a sound argument. Especially when it's something more countries do than don't. (Disclaimer, am Indian)
