I didn’t suggest it was a conscious thought, only that it was an inability to comprehend events from the other side. It can’t align with experiences it’s own history hasn’t experienced.

It can more readily align with suppressing such opposition. It’s in the national psyche so much it’s referenced in the national anthem.

Even today we have our armed forces minister, just as we had our foreign secretary yesterday, providing political cover for Israel by failing to condemn what we can see with our very eyes.

At best China is establishing moral authority outside Europe and North America and at worst Iran in the Middle East and North Africa. Simply because they can tell the truth.
