Answers:
1) Donald Trump himself is the greatest violator of human rights. Trump’s emigrant order against Muslims surprised some American politicians. Isn’t it considered as the violation of human rights?
2) Mustn’t the American statesmen protect the human rights of the people of Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Myanmar? How is it possible for the Americans not to react concerning holocaust in Myanmar and they haven’t even mentioned it? Why doesn’t America protect and support the human rights of Yemen people while the wild Saudi Arabia massacres them?
3) Aren’t the American statesmen worried about the Shiite minority of Bahrain?
4) Due to the presence of the American military forces, many bitter and catastrophic events happened for the Afghan people in Afghanistan.
