It's funny how many people here constantly repeat that it's a crime to attach and split an independent country, but I could not hear such voices anywhere in any western country when NATO bombed civilian targets in Serbia for months to support Kosovo independence.
As a remainder, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Panama, Cuba, Guatemala, Mali, Yemen ... all independent countries attacked by NATO and its allies. Sorry if I added a few extra or missed a few, the number is just too big to remember correctly, since the number of independent countries worldwide attacked by NATO and its allies is bigger than list of countries attacked by Nazi Germany in WW2.
- bluGill 5y agoThe sins of NATO (some might debate them, but for discussion inline accept all you raised) do not excuse anyone else's sins.
- tut-urut-utut 5y agoThat's true. Behaviour of one side doesn't excuse anyone else's sins, but it also doesn't give a moral right to criticize the others for the same thing they did and are still doing themselves. It's a hypocrisy all the way down, on both sides.
- moate 5y agoI have never once voted on a NATO action, despite living in a NATO country. I have never once fought a NATO war, despite living in a NATO country. There is no NATO blood on my hands, can I condemn Russian action without you scolding me with "whataboutism"?
- aszen 5y agoYou may not have voted but did u condemn those actions just like as you are doing now or were u silent because the people killed were not White European people
