The Anglo media kind of turn on the "we muuuust save the muslim minority in countries we don't like" agenda around 10 years ago.

If you look at youtube, its very obvious. Before that point, nobody from the voa/bbc/cnn gave a poo poo about the rohingya people. All the documentaries/long form report were made by al jazeera and independence channels. But at some point, you start seeing sea of Anglo reports. Funny thing is the Keran people in Myanmar were oppressed longer, became refugee longer, but they are Christian minority not Muslim minority the Anglo press continue to ignore them.

And you can kinda see the Uyghurs in China got the attention around the same time. Thats why Zens were studying Tibetan culture but he switched to "study" the Uyghurs on a dial.

There might but other Muslim minority in other "rogue counties" but I haven't been paying attention.

But the thing is, I don't think it work on the Muslim world wide consensus. Obama admin might have ordered that narrative from the central command and also planned to withdraw from the Afghan war at the same time. But US couldn't leave Afghanistan for 10 more years.

So the Anglo press and the "academy" have been turning out these "China/Myanmar governments are horrible to the Muslims" think pieces year after year, but it hasn't changed the Muslim countries perception to China at all. Even Turkey government which was pretty hostile again China 10 years ago (issued fake passports to the Uyghurs) has turned around in recent years after their currency got hosed by the west.

What I think the main issue is US elites expected the Arabic countries care about the Muslim minorities all over the world. In reality I don't think the rich ME countries care about non Arabic Muslim minority.

What I am saying is, maybe someone who is in CIA, or whoever is running NED should say, "hey guys, this angle hasn't been working. Maybe we should tried something else."

I don't think the anglo world cares about what happens to nonwhite people unless it's a tool to use against other countries.

oh yeah UK definitely. arguably two just in British India between the famine and the partition. the Nazis did a bunch at once so I count that as one ☝️

So for Turkey you've got the 3-4 during and after WW1 plus the stuff this century with Kurds. Anything else I'm missing?

There has been a lot of ethnic cleansing that has happened in the last century. If you want a recent example you can look at what ISIS was doing. Lol

It's a very different thing though. Maybe even sometimes ethnic cleansing is good, ie Germans after ww2. But yeah I don't think there's a century without a fair bit of it.

The "we must save the poor Muslims" narrative is a purely domestic one is a way to justify the new cold war not to the global population but the domestic one. I can't imagine anyone outside of the English speaking world believes it for a second.

even if it were true it's almost certain playing games with "the average" considering the National People's Congress has five times as many members as the US House and Senate combined
