The most hypocritical question any Westerner can ask.

Really? I'm pretty sure my country isn't invading anyone, isn't kidnapping children, isn't bombing civilians, etc etc.

What's the hypocricy?

[–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess that depends on which your country is, but quite a few are involved in exactly those activities, aren't they?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I dunno, the number of western countries actively invading another country for the purpose of displacing the population and taking their land by moving in their own people can't be very high. I definitely can't name "quite a few".

I'm mostly referencing the US, without knowing what country the previous commenter's from, because "america" was in the original post.

The US is doing a LOT of dubious shit, but not invading other countries for the reason of annexing it and replacing the population with your own (thats more of a historic thing, but that's a historic thing for pretty much every country)

Is it part of NATO? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3j5gxgz0do

This is absolutely terrible, and anyone involved in this need to be tried for warcrimes. But as bad as it is, this isn't a war of agression, or intentional genocide.

And I'd also like to point out that the british people DID infact remove that government. They did exactly the thing that we'd all like to see happen in Russia. The opposite of hipocrisy.

How did they remove the government? Did they riot against it in the streets? Was anyone actually persecuted from the war criminals or did they simply walk free and are now committing more war crimes?

Unless you're an enemy of the state, but that's funny, I don't hear about any Western fascists getting capped...

To be fair, three people did try to dome Trump.

They and Luigi get to complain.
