> I also find puzzling, that I remember people being outraged if country X done something and now when something like this gets done in Western countries, there is very much indifference. This also works the other way around. For example, if some far right group in US uses Nazi symbolism, people get understandably outraged, and the system goes into overdrive to destroy the groups and people involved. On the other hand, when random photos of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi patches sewed to their uniforms keep popping up, the New York Times talks about “complicated relationship with Nazi imagery” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/world/europe/nazi-symbols-ukraine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/world/europe/nazi-symbols... The point is, all that matters is “who whom”, and there is little point in trying to parse and analyze the arguments made by powers on rational, objective level. These are always self-serving, and if take these at face value and respond to the content, you have been successfully fooled.
