Syria? The country currently controlled by terrorists massacring minorities is a good example of what you want? Also the USSR did 90% of the work of defeating the Nazis while America continued to trade with and fund them through ford IBM and other enterprises. I think the US should just stop intervening but they never will as the massive violence and immiseration is necessary to sustain their empire.
People said the exact same thing about Libya in 2011. ‘Just military targets.’ ‘Just a no-fly zone.’ It’s genuinely impressive how the same script can be rolled out over and over.
What it actually meant was destroying Libya’s air defenses and command systems. Once that was done, NATO pushed regime change, the state collapsed, and the country was handed over to militias, foreign powers, and jihadist groups. That’s the model.
When people say ‘only military targets,’ they’re repeating the same script. You don’t bomb a country’s defenses unless your goal is to weaken it. Once that happens, it’s open season: invasion, proxy forces, destabilization. These strikes are never isolated. They’re step one.

I’m not sure you know what it means to be left of centre.
The results will be published by the same party that holds them imprisoned
That’s how being arrested works. The state detains you Investigates and then you are put on trial. What is your point with this?
They were arrested on charges of 诬告陷害罪 and 非法经营罪 so maybe instead of presuming a nefarious plot it would make more sense to hold back with 不评价，等调查结果.
If you want “whataboutism” I can do that too by pointing out every western aligned government had deep ties to the Epstein pedophile cabal and they all feared and hated China.
So maybe you have bigger issues you should be dealing with. Worry about the sword through your neck before the one hanging on China’s wall.
A coup is when corrupt officials are investigated and punished.
Ah you’re one of these people. Ok conversation with you will not be productive. Continue believing what you want all the best.
