So what is the answer? We ignore the Russian invasion of Ukraine because other people have done bad things as well? (And yes, there were journalist that were and still are critical of the Iraq war, both inside and outside the US.)It might just be me, that can't stand anymore to open the news, seeing television, hearing Radio.
Have the last few grain of sanity left the western world?...in my view it has.
To me it seems that there are only 4 persons in my life that remember 18 years back in time to the horrible mass-killings in Iraq.
Where heat from the severe bombing was so strong that one was unable to count any dead people, while the heat had been so severe that even the skeletons had evaporated...
Nobody wants to talk about that, not in that period, even not today. What’s going on? Have we left everything, every fundamental principle in the western democracies? We are claiming free speech here in the western world, but actually we haven’t got any.
NO one, absolutely no one are talking about it, apart from Jørgen Duff, I...and my cleaningman at my holiday house.
Else it seems like a madness in collective censorship that is going on.
When Biden or Blinken talks about war crimes that Russia are committing, why don't they start like this:
"We are aware that USA did war crimes in Iraq just 18 years ago, even in a much higher degree - but Russia is committing war-crime too in Ukraine"
"We are aware of we, and the rest of the western world are trying to make a total shutting down and bancrypsy to Russia"
"And by doing that, while US didn't get any punishment at all for killing ½-1 mio civilian people in Iraq, we are, as a consequence of our new
public international law and punishment-structure, hereby willing to accept a similar punishment towards US, for what we were doing in Iraq -
in order to bring important balance in law and punishment and for protection of the three fundamental priciples: 1) nobody are above the law, and 2) equal right for the law, and 3) equal punishment for equal crime"
"We are at same time aware, that killing-crimes has no expiration-date."
Now let us all fulfill..
Why aren't there any journalist who raise a little modest finger to Biden, to Blinken, to the west, asking the humble question: “what about the Iraq-war only 18 years ago Mr. President, was it okay what US did at that time? and secondly, why have US not been punished accordingly?”
Where on earth are all the critical journalists or -people gone?
This I could understood. Not to stand up as a golden saint and demand extreme punishment, claiming war-crime - but at same time being aware of have been doing exactly the same crime a few years ago, just a couple of hundred times worse.
Lets punish Russia, and US and Saudi Arabia for Ukraine, Iraq and Yemen - but equally, same methods, same strength.
And, from then on, we can start from scratch with this new world order
So, the question remains, should we ignore the brutality of Putin in Ukraine?
