I haven't been selective, though. I simply don't know enough about the situations above to take an "ethical stance".Look at Guantanamo Bay. Wasn't this a contract done years back and the USA would not give it back to Cuba? Look at Diego Garcia, Kashmir, Catalonia, Crimea? Kruschev who is an Ukranian gave to to the Republic of Ukraine when it was under the USSR. When USSR broke up the Crimeans wanted to be independent . Ukraine refused. So let's have a Universal system for people who want to be independent. Not just some people. Look at the people of Palestine. Heck they were invaded as part of Jordan and occupied still by Israel. As a westerner don't you see the hypocrisy of this is when you become selective?
Just because I feel sympathy for the people of Hong Kong and would want them to get independence(if the population truly wants this), it doesn't mean I that think that only Hong Kong deserves independence. I find this whataboutism when discussing Hong Kong rather pointless.
