Alright, if anyone non-western comes up in the files you'll automatically label them as western because of any association with imperialism/captilism thereby solidifying your claim? That shit is everywhere! I'd bet the Prince of UAE is on that list. UAE isn't western, it isn't even considered westernized, but it is capitalist economy. I'd say it is largely western yes, so far, but give it time.. more non-westerners will be exposed because fuckin everybody is on that god damn list!

Not the Chinese leadership, or the DPRK's, or Iran. Their point is that compradors that are aligned with western capital seemed awfully eager to be doing cruel shit with Epstein and other elites, while those opposed to them and seeking sovereignty weren't.

I can't find Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is mentioned very prominently, who has close ties to the Maktoums.

Are we seriously trying to argue that the UK isn't western? What are you even trying to say?
