The U.S's politics always rise above logic

The USA can be defending human rights if it chooses to do and it has done so more than not.

Politics always rise above logic, common sense and the good side of human nature. For that America gets zero mark for choosing to be silent over the human rights abuses committed by the Thai military rather than speaking out against it. America should be helping her close ally, Thailand, to respect human rights and not abuse it.

America itself also commits human right abuses during the wars when it dropped loads of bombs on its so-called good targets when some of those bombs fell on civilians. The case in point here is the dropping of the bombs on Neak Loeung during the civil war in Cambodia in the 70s as shown in the movie entitled "the Killing Fields".

However, America is more on the right track than many other nations, so it needs to be encouraged and pressured to put more efforts into becoming a true advocate and defender of human rights.
