Comments by "" (@titteryenot4524) on "Ukraine conflict: Russian invasion ‘going to plan’, says Vladimir Putin" video.
The double standards of the West in this conflict are staggering. America, along with its partners, has the most prolific record of any country on this planet in terms of actual invasion and/or the overturning of democratically elected governments. What Russia is doing, invading another self-governing, sovereign nation, is wrong, but what about the dozens of times the West has done this? In the last 40 years alone America’s record is: 1. Grenada (1983-1984) 2. Bolivia (1986) 3. Virgin Islands (1989) 4. Liberia (1990; 1997; 2003) 5. Saudi Arabia (1990-1991) 6. Kuwait (1991) 7. Somalia (1992-1994; 2006) 8. Bosnia (1993-) 9. Zaire/Congo (1996-1997) 10. Albania (1997) 11. Sudan (1998) 12. Afghanistan (1998; 2001-) 13. Yemen (2000; 2002-) 14. Macedonia (2001) 15. Colombia (2002-) 16 Pakistan (2005-) 17. Syria (2008; 2011-) 18. Uganda (2011) 19. Mali (2013) 20. Niger (2013) 21. Yugoslavia (1919; 1946; 1992-1994; 1999) 22. Iraq (1958; 1963; 1990-1991; 1990-2003; 1998; 2003-2011) 23. Angola (1976-1992) As far as I can see what Putin and Russia are doing is playing the most commonly-heard tune in the West’s geopolitical songbook.

@user-High-IQ769 Your biggest error in that post was ‘we’. We ?!Really? You’re defining yourself on a random, arbitrary accident of birth, something in which you had no say? Really? I call that primitive and unthinking. Moreover, I call it very, very dangerous given 300,000 years of squabbling human beings murdering each other over accidents of birth. I’d direct your attention to the wise words of that great philosopher, Pogo: we have met the enemy and he is us.
