        People like that think this is a gotcha because they assume you think the same way as them. Picking a team and defending anything they do regardless of whether it makes sense. We can criticise the U.S and Russia, it doesn’t detract from the fucking horrible shit Russia is doing and must be called out on.

          Exactly. This isn’t the gotcha they think it is. One can be clear eyed and critical about countries on multiple sides of global conflicts.

          The world should have. World leaders and global organizations charged with ensuring global peace and security keep failing at their job. It is is a major reason why we see a rise in conflicts the world over.

      Also, US didn’t annex those countries.

      Correct. Although Afghanistan was fairly justified but the end result was 20 years of death.

      That’s ok because the US needed to denazify them. Oh I mean to get rid of WMDs, communists, and al Qaeda. The USA only use the nefarious propaganda for good, just ask them.
