"During its 140th meeting in January 2017, the Executive Board of the WHO shortlisted Tedros as the front runner out of six candidates through two rounds of secret voting. He collected the most votes during both rounds.[citation needed] Tedros "was supported by a bloc of African and Asian countries, including China, which has considerable influence with those members" while "the US, UK and Canada... lent their support to... the British doctor David Nabarro." One observer called it "a really nasty" election."
Basically: "Oh, someone else can play the same game we've played for a century with UN, WHO, IMF, etc. - how dare they?"
You mean the proxy states, lackeys, and funded warlords and dictators setup by EU in Africa, to safeguard the ex-colonial pocessions and make sure they continue to get their resources and control on the cheap?
Or the several Middle Easter/Asian/African countries bombed, invaded, toppled, etc by the US (3-4 of them in the last 20 years alone).
The somewhat accountable and transparent free republics spent like 200 years completely dicking over Africa & China to the tune of millions dead. Not really a position of moral superiority.
