They are kidnapping and executing journalists- has this happened in the US or UK recently? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/01/12/op...

No, US keeps their "special friends" in Guantanamo, keeping US soil clean. That's democracy in action and respect for the constitution, unlike lesser countries.

When the US kidnaps people they call it "extraordinary rendition" so you don't think it's just a simple kidnapping + torture. It's extraordinary somehow.

And Guantanamo is not the only one. https://www.google.com/search?q=abu+ghraib+photos&tbm=isch

It wasn't my intent to start a nationalistic or whataboutism flame war. History speaks for itself.

My point is simply that things are absolutely not as black and white as we are led to believe, and the whole "axis of evil" rhetoric was ludicrous.
