Who is asking for a US intervention on the side of the Uighurs? Did anyone actually ask them? What do Muslims think about a crusader state intervening in their conflict? I see a lot of calls for America to "do something" but apparently nobody ever stopped to think about if anyone asked for it.

I am not asking for a US intervention. I am asking for a world intervention. I think the US deserves a freaking break already. People get pissy if we help and pissy if we sit one out.

I think we need a world intervention because this is literally concentration camps. Everyone always asks how they let Germany get away with that so long, and here is our answer today.

Also, I would be for US intervention if we currently weren't in our own hole, and didn't already "help" in a lot of places we would have been better off ignoring.

Unless you can extract oil from the Uighurs don't expect the US to liberate them.

That's not the question. The question is, who's asking the US to interfere?

Did anyone bother to ask the Uighurs or other Muslims what they think of a crusader state "helping"?

Can you please make more sense. Are you saying the people in actual concentration camps may not want anyone to help?

Although you raise an interesting thought of "what DO other Muslim nation's think of this?". But it's kind of not the best way to articulate that point. I would really like to find out the answer to that question myself.

It's a simple question: who is asking the US to interfere? Can you point to anyone?

And if nobody is asking for it, why should we interfere in yet another country's internal affairs? Because that has a record of working SO well.

The organization calling for Western intervention in China is Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), coincidentally a US government-backed NGO. If America wants to invade a country, chances are it's not about saving people, even if people really are suffering in that country...but they do need to tell us it is otherwise how will they manufacture our consent to steal another country's resources?

Fun fact: Xinjiang is packed with resources. It's why China took it over in the first place. It was said jewels lay on the ground there, just waiting for someone to pick them up. Same as the Boer lands in southern Africa.

Typical thinking America doing something has to mean some sort of military crusade.

Right now we'll be happy with sanctions and at least a little political pressure rather than just kissing their arses so they keep supplying cheap shit.

That's not the question.

Who asked America to interfere?
