Thread Name: BS: Who are the UAE?
Subject: RE: BS: Who are the UAE?
So, if the UAE turns a blind eye to all of this corruption in its own country, what do you think it will do with our ports?

Probably the same things as our governments do when we turn a blind eye to these very things in our own countries. And you are misleading yourself if you think that the things described in your openeing post are not happening in our own countries. Biker gangs in Canada are a huge source of kidnapped sex slaves in the west. The sex slave trade is flourishing in all Western countries. Most Western countries don't recognise sex slaves as victims. When the sex slaves are apprehended, if they are trafficked from other countries (this is quite often the case), instead of receiving victim support, they are jailed and deported.

And US companies use (forced) child labor in third world countries to make the goods that they then sell in the US, Canada, and other parts of the West. A practice you support when you buy these goods. We are not as different from them as you might find it comfortable to believe.
