This is one of the greatest examples of virtue signaling I think I have ever seen. I’ll ask three questions. If you can answer all three, I think the problem with this is very obvious.
Who among these countries do you think would be responsible for footing the bill on this one?
Which of these countries is currently the greatest contributor of global humanitarian aid the world has ever known?
What is stopping any of these countries from banding together without the US and making their beautiful dream a reality without this pointless resolution?
Smear campaigns work better when they’re not completely transparent.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR belief, U.S. leaders are no different from those of most other countries in that they have a dismal humanitarian record.
True, many nations including this one have sent relief abroad in response to particular disasters.But these sporadic actions are limited in scope, do not represent an essential policy commitment, and obscure the many occasions when governments choose to do absolutely nothing for other peoples in dire straits.
In addition, most U.S. aid missions serve as pretexts for hidden political agendas. They are intended to bolster conservative procapitalist regimes, build infrastructures (roads, ports, office complexes) that assist big investors, lend a cover for counterinsurgency programs, and undermine local agrarian self-sufficiency by driving independent farmers off lands that are then taken over by corporate agribusiness.
I don’t understand why everybody is downvoting you. It’s a well known fact that throughout its 247 years of existence, the United States has literally never committed a single atrocity. I’m not saying the United States is perfect; maybe it committed an atrocity or two a couple of times, but nothing that was a big deal.
So much of rational thought build up from consuming too much bourgeois propaganda aka liberal media bullshit.
Keep doing that and try to reply to every comment made here instead of nit picking the name calling ones. Good luck.
Unironically yes. While the US is particularly fond of bombs and drones, another favourite weapon of theirs is starving the countries of people who have the audacity to disagree with them. See: Cuba*, DPRK. As a bonus, they even get to blame the countries they are starving for the lack of food.
Not even only other countries, the US is happy to do it to their own people because the hungry are easier to exploit. The US has an absolute staggering amount of food waste, it is the largest component of most US landfills. They’d sooner throw away food before giving it to the needy. In many cases, they will punish you for giving it to the needy (see the charitable organizations repeatedly fined in Texas for feeding the homeless).
*Incidentally this exact same map can be used for countries voting to end the US sanctions of Cuba.
The USA starves the world because desperate and hungry people are easier to exploit. Starving people and preventing people from getting accessible food serves their corporate interest because they can keep rising food prices.

Myths of “Humanitarian” Intervention
Every time I forget just how bad the U.S. is, I am reminded “death to amerikkka”.

Ignorant ranting to its fullest
Stick your head in the sand just a little deeper and maybe you can shut out rational thought completely.

lool get your fucking CCP propaganda out of here you wumao
Shut the fuck up cracker.
I think the person you’re responding to was joking, just so you know.
Virtue signalling is when you think people starving is bad and the more you think people starving is bad the more virtue signallinger it is
EDIT: Yeah, you’re right. It is obvious.
I refer to #3, why don’t they just do it then?
I didn’t say per capita. You love that oil money don’t you?
Yes, the US is purposely starving the world.
You’re lying to yourself and everyone else. Stop being a bad person.

Then why the hell is the US the largest contributor of global humanitarian aid? They’re not just evil right? They’re even bad at being evil.
Your life must be so simple. Never had to form a complex thought, eh?

I did not. The US purposefully starved my people. I don’t see that as a great contribution to global aid.
