Once again you attempt to muddy the waters by deferring to other parts of the world those of which you could never consider as part of the free world, or have any cultural connection whatsoever to western cultural norms.

So yes, it is just with trump, for the reasons outlined above, there is a duty to remain progressive. .. To accept so readily regressive autocratic decisions from him is funny.
No that's the wrong word not funny......horrifying, yes, that's a better word.

I don't really see the logic of only holding progressive societies to account and letting more primitive ones off the hook because they are more primitive.

The Saudis for instance are hardly primitive, they just choose to hide behind it when it suits and the same pretty much applies to the rest of them.

When there are plenty of Western mugs out there defending their primitiveness to the hilt they are laughing their stinking sandals off.

I thought the general belief in this country was 'ignorance was no defence'. Just one rule for them then. I find that pretty horrifying!
