If X is Iran/Russia/North Korea/<current choice> and Y is US/UK/Canada etc, the whole *mainstream* media would be calling for war. But in this case, its just called a failed operation. Even if it was an allied country and the SEAL was caught, US would threaten the country with war to get the person back.
US has always been an agressor to small countries, big countries, allies i.e rest of the world. Americans can accept the fact or stay in denial but it doesn't change other countries' experience or how they feel about it.

The establishment and the media categorically did not want this to go anywhere let alone to a war.
- davidguetta 1y agonot sure why you are being downvoted, there are many cases where botched mission happenend even between allied countries and it's bad but never leads to war
- Stevvo 1y agoThe Russian/UK situation is a-typical, because they wanted to be found; Russia explicitly left a trail of Novichock as a threat/intimidation.
