        What you said was completely unrelated and now you want to debate a different box. Classic western disinformation

          This is not a debate, nor was anything I said unrelated. US is as western as it gets and my comment shows contempt towards such actions. The same logic applies to both cases of unjustified per-emptive attacks.

      That’s not whataboutism, both are wrong by the exact same standard, in America’s case we should have worked with the international community to ensure Iraq was unable to make progress in WMDs (if that’s what we actually cared about).

      In russia’s case they could just be nicer to their neighbors.

      If I abuse my wife and she leaves me for someone else, that’s not the fault of the wife or other man, that’s on me.
