It’s all just show. Forget the rules. America runs the world, does whatever it wants and ignores the UN as it pleases. When other countries do it, they get sanctioned or bombed. And Russia and China are out to change that unipolar world, cause America is out of control. And has been for a long time already.

On September 16, 2004 Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, speaking on the invasion, said, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN Charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal."

- hackerbeat 5y agoOh really? And how many countries has the US invaded already? Not to mention the ones it subverted to force their worldview on them. Why apply double standards here? There's no good vs. evil. The world is more complex than that.
- nickpp 5y agoBecause it's in the aggressor's interest to point out the failures of others and scream: they did it too. But I lived under both and, while there are no angels, I know which one is evil and which one is (flawed) good. Only one had to keep their people from fleeing their empire of misery with walls and guns.
