        The US did not "stand by:" it ACTIVELY SUPPORTED actions of Indonesian government. See here: https://www.voanews.com/a/us-declassified-indonesian-embassy-files/4075504.html …pic.twitter.com/SJ1C76JaRw

        The US and the UK have been happy to let innocents die for decades, if it suited their policies. It’s shocking, but not surprising.

        In Indonesia ExxonMobil also helped their military to squash the Aceh province farmers etc. to keep their oil fields. Ref, Private Empire.

        The oil companies' list of HR violations is endless. Iraq war a crowning achievement. All you need is a dumb president and US often obliges

        Would that not mean EVERY country “stood by”? Why just mention US? Where are the harsh words for the real perpetrators who did the killing?

        Got to keep with the narrative. Everything's Murica's fault. Indonesian's are dark skinned muslims so nothing their fault

        Yes, Indonesia was back then. They did the killing, every other country in the world ignored it, but US are the "evil" ones. Got it
