If America actually cared about human rights they wouldn't prop up dictators like Nursultan Nazarbaev.

I wish more Americans would put their emotions and patriotism aside and take a real look at their foreign policy. That's why they're hated around the world, because they have this amazingly free society and they chose to let the government do whatever the hell it wants to whomever it wants as long as it doesn't disturb them, no matter how badly the foreign people are harmed.
