This reads like Chinese propaganda. It is not unbiased.
Reads a fact that China built a thousand schools in Iraq and proceeds to screech about Chinese propaganda exposing own biases. This is the brainrot we now have to deal with on daily basis here after the reddit migration.
You didn’t read the article. It makes broad assertions about the US’s dealing in Iraq, calling it all atrocities. This is not good journalism.
Reminding people of the atrocities US regime has committed in Iraq at every opportunity is good journalism. You keep on seething and coping there though.
Sweeping generalizations have no place in good journalism. They are a tool of propagandists.
These are just plain facts buddy. The only propagandist tool here is yourself.
Iraq paid for those schools (a 2021 deal is referenced, where this was in exchange for oil - a fact the article specifically avoids mentioning).
This is essentially an article about someone ordering a product, paying for it, and getting it delivered.
Not sure what you think the gotcha here is. Making a deal to trade oil for infrastructure is certainly a lot better than having US empire invade you, bomb the shit out of your country, and then take your oil.
