Apple Declines Request to Testify at U.S. Congressional Hearing Probing Ties to China

I guarantee you the US have been stealing and controlling oil out there for ages. Ages.

oh you guarantee it. Okay. Nothing to see here.... you have no shred of evidence to support that claim except sound bites from partisan hacks who hated George Bush.

Not sure how you got there from my post and the person I was replying to...

no the same point does not apply. You specifically said the Chinese military wasn’t trying to steal resources they have no claim to. I pointed out how that’s exactly what they’re doing and you wanna call that one upping? No it’s pointing out your claim about China was utter nonsense meant to make the US look bad and China good.

Which we gave to the recognized government of the territory, not the terrorist thugs who were in control of it before our military tore them apart and made them scatter into the desert. The United States did not steal the oil for itself as you’re implying.

If the US have EVER been involved in an illegal or unjust war, THEY are the terrorists. Any soldier that is charged with war crimes is as good, (or as bad as a terrorist).
The US love to be the world police. Simply because they want to control it.

It’s far, far more complex than you have put it here. Yes, US interests are at stake, but even this predates the oil rush (look up how the Marine nickname “leatherneck” originated). More critically, we have a solid ally in the ME that needs us as much as we need them. Don’t doubt for a second that they aren’t worth protecting either. For starters, much of the latest tech in your iPhone comes from that ally of ours.

Ah, our "allies" in the ME. One uses military force against civilians, the other treats women like 2nd class citizens. Meh... I wouldn't shed a tear at the loss of either Israel or Saudi Arabia. Ever been around toxic superstar performers? If your best sales man is toxic to the rest of the sales crew, you fire his ass.
The big problem is both of our "allies" in the ME acts exactly like we do. We use military force against civilians too. And we treat blacks like second class citizens. Birds of a feather...

Doesn't Apple have a business to run when it shoves its SJW agenda down our throats?

If Apple truly believes in what it stands for, it should sit through some uncomfortable hearings.

Right and the government with all of its’ equality bs as well. But exactly what SJW is being shoved down anyone’s throat? We are all free to buy Apple products on their own merits or not. Anyone that thinks Apple is shoving anything but products down their throat is sadly mistaken.
