So far, every time I have seen the discussion of hypocrisy, it has been in direct reply to a person trying to discuss the [lack of] justification for invading Ukraine. In those cases, "it" (the conversation) is not about hypocrisy.
Further, a nation isn't one person. Even a government isn't one person. Hypocrisy is hard to prove, and easy to throw into a conversation.
If I were in a life-or-death national crisis, under attack in my home, I would be demoralized and furious with those taking the opportunity to make accusations against those trying to support me of hypocrisy on such a broad political scale ("that country is being hypocritical"), based on conflicts past.
As a topic in a void, it's a legitimate accusation. But it seems so disrespectful to human life and human rights, given the context of the present.
