It's easy to ride a high horse and advise states (which have always been vicious, in old or modern history) to do the right thing, period. Who has done more war crimes and inhumane acts in recent years, and in recent decades, around the world, Russia or the U.S.? Which is to say, the U.S. cannot go around lecturing anyone about morality or worse. Have people forgotten the nuclear bombing of huge Japanese cities? It's beyond atrocious.
