Re: Canada has arrested Huawei’s global chief financial officer in Vancouver
#572Many are lost in technicalities here, if Canada has the right to arrest a businesswoman, if the US can stop a foreign company to do business with another country. Who cares? I'm partial to Iran because a multi-lateral treaty was signed. Iran stopped nuclear enrichment. In exchange, western countries pledged to provide economic relief and stop sanctions. It is said that Iran has been developing various weapons, but th…
Are you Iranian ? Highly coincidental to your argument you do not mention the glaring evidence of Iran's involvement on the ground with advisors and supplying military hardware in the Yemen crisis,Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, etc. opposing the UAE, the Saudis, and the US.

The fact that the parent is pro-chinese is pretty clear, I don't see what digging into their post history adds to the discussion, especially since in this case it's tangential at best.
Because astroturfing has utterly subverted discussion on hot-button issues on all social media platforms (including this one), whether you choose to believe it or not.
I wonder if there are solutions to astroturfing that have not been explored.
this is really challenging as it is something I have been thinking about a long time and each idea I have I find a way that it would simply not work.

#575So, we are willing to arrest foreign businesspeople and risk an international crisis in order to make sure that our supply of oil is secure, but if our own businesspeople rip off the American people to the tune of trillions of dollars, we not only let them walk free, but we compensate them for their losses. Interesting to see what kinds of behavior are actually punished. Shows you who's really in charge of the government. (Exxon, Goldman Sachs, etc)

That’s probably because Israel is a part of the Western world and nobody in their right mind is concerned about it becoming a military threat or sponsoring radical Islamists.
Israel doesn't sponsor radical Islamists it just creates them by it's disregard for international law in the West Bank and Gaza.
And yet the heavy hitters (Al Qaeda, ISIS and co) never really bothered with Israel. They went directly after other Western nations which supported the Palestinian cause and sponsored Palestinians with billions of dollars.

You think THIS proves the US is not a trustworthy nation? Why choose to ignore the last 100+ years of the US's backstory and focus on this rather minor setback to make such a bold statement? I would imagine any amount of trust we had left was entirely exhausted more than 40 years ago, during the Nixon shock [0] and Exorbitant privilege [1]. Surely, you realize the US earns its status on the global stage via its viole…

> I was born in '93 so what happened 100 years ago isn't much of a concern for me.
This is a painfully ignorant statement. Every facet of your life is shaped by the actions of those in the past.
> or on what currency is used to buy petrol.
This literally is the thing regulates how every currency on the planet is valued/traded. EVERYTHING is based on the relationship between the dollar and the price of oil, including the USA/EU trade relationship, and every other trade relationship for that matter. Is that a good thing? Depends on who you ask, but it is nevertheless the current reality.
> What? Is this just a roundabout way of telling me I'm dumb?
No, but you aren't exactly making a great case for yourself.

#578It seems to me Canada is doing this for it's southern neighbor. Wondering if the fact that Huawei is putting a lot a pressure on American companies (by competing with them) is part of this?
The biggest Huawei competition is from Ericsson in Sweden and Nokia in Finland. The US feels very uncomfortable having it’s civilian and military networks serviced by Huawei because of the connections Huawei has to the Chinese military.

I don't believe this thread is about Saudi Arabia.
So does imposing sanctions have any consistent basis or framework in the U.S? I believe that is very relevant here, because if not, it's basically being a bully.
Reducing international relations to schoolyard concepts like “bullying” leads to a child’s understanding of something that’s actually quite complex.
