“the west”? huge tell there regarding OP. That wording doesn’t appear in the paper.
Confirms something I’ve strongly suspected about you.
It’s right in the intro, though it doesn’t specify “The West” specifically, it is an apt summary.
Also this was a .ml crosspost, but I did not find the title to be misrepresentative, so I left it
If what I think you’re hinting about is what you’re hinting about, you might not have come across my work yet
It very clearly isn’t
There it is
Very obviously, the problem is that you posted an article to a science community with an editorialized headline rather than the article’s original headline. Whether you feel it is or is not accurately representative is beside the point.
I see your point, I have adjusted the post to the paper title and moved the original title to the body
I’m not OP, but I read the article. It states
If sanctions by the UN had no effect, the sanctions they studied that caused the deaths were imposed by the US and the EU. While calling the combined US+EU “the West” may not be entirely accurate (it leaves out Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other “Western” nations), I don’t think their wording is overly misleading either.
