Even if everyone did it (they don't; most countries have nowhere near the necessary capabilities), it does not follow that all can or do do it to the same extent.
And this is not a situation in which all sides doing it makes any less likely to continue. It is more akin everyone polluting because everyone else does.
Not all polluters are equal, but they should all be condemned and if possible stopped.

My comment does not assume that everyone does it or that everyone does it to the same extent. >And this is not a situation in which all sides doing it makes any less likely to continue. It is more akin everyone polluting because everyone else does. You've lost me completely. What did I say to suggest that everyone doing it makes it less likely to continue? >Not all polluters are equal, but they should all be condemned and if possible stopped. It's a bit easier to pin blame for pollution on someone than it is to pin blame for meddling in another country's politics, which is almost necessarily clandestine. That's why it's reasonable to expect that countries will be able to make and keep agreements to limit pollution, even if they don't have a great relationship, but not particularly reasonable to expect that they will be able to make and keep agreements to not interfere in each others' internal affairs.
