That's literally every country. > A uniform standard of justice is a key requirement of any legal system of accountability, in my opinion. Pointing out hypocrisy could be called 'whataboutism' I suppose, but what about hypocrisy? Isn't hypocrisy - backing murderers here, opposing murderers there, justifying that support entirely on some vague notion of 'national interests' - something of a problem? I couldn't care less about your hypocrisy charges. If something is bad it should be stopped. Doesn't matter who. Doesn't matter by who. You can get your high-minded moralizations on once the dust settles. Moralizations are for the living - a champagne problem if you will.
