Andrew Bolt on Sky News said that Putin should be treated as a war criminal, same as Hitler.
Along with Bush. And Cheney.
Yep.
The US under Bush/Cheney invaded, destroyed and occupied two countries illegally for decades. One of the amazing and sad facts among many: after 20 years of US occupation, 75% of the Afghan budget was derived international aid. Which the US shut off when they took their tanks and went home. Serious concerns that removing most of the Afghan budget, plus stealing $10B of their money, plus applying sanctions on the Taliban will lead to more Afghan deaths than the 20 year US caused and funded civil war. In any case, widespread extreme poverty is pretty much guaranteed, which will no doubt be blamed on Taliban mismanagement and corruption whenever the US media bothers to report anything from there again.
As for Ukraine, the real answer to Putin is that any offensive war is illegal, invading another country is a war crime, resulting deaths are murder. Unfortunately the US can't really make such arguments because of the repeated and continued history of invading and attacking other countries illegally.
Afghanistan via AQ blew up America.
So America blew up and occupied Afghanistan.
All fair enough in my mind.
Saddam terrorised America etc, invaded Kuwait, and kept threatening to invade some place or other, causing America to have to ready its military.
Saddam was a menace, the only way to stop him was to invade Iraq, so America did.
All fair enough in my mind.
