Ok I'll simplify, it's NOT - "US engages in unjustifiable wars, then Russia gets to also?"Not quite seeing any sort of logic here, other than an attempt at whataboutism on your part.
The US serves its own interests? Yes. Its interest here is to oppose Russian aggression in the Ukraine. It's in Europe's interest as well. So what's your point?
US attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan refer to another set of wars. So what makes them relevant to the unjustifiable Russian attack on Ukraine? Are you saying that if the US engages in unjustifiable wars, then Russia gets to also?
Did Madeleine Albright (who served a quarter of a century ago) actually say that "the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children were worth it"? I'd love to see a link supporting that.
For the record, I was opposed to the attack on Iraq at the time. It was easy to see even then that Iraq was not involved in 9/11. The endless Afghanistan war was also a terrible mistake. On the other hand, your points are irrelevant to the current war in Ukraine. Also, I hope you're not implying that if a country does something that "serves its own interests", its intentions are somehow polluted. Because that's simply nonsense on the face of it.
US does engage in countless wars, kills millions of innocents all to server their own interests, it seems we have agreed on that. Yet you are still happy to believe they are whiter than white with regard to the Ukrainian conflict?
Not even a 5% change the have been provoking this conflict and are fueling just enough to prolong it, resulting in thousands of their Ukrainian "friends" dying because that serves their interests too? Even a 1% chance this could be the case??
You have US senators spelling it out "Russians are dying" and bragging about how it's the "best money we ever spent".
No chance at all these "good guys" are happy to sacrifice any Ukrainian they can usher towards the frontline to serve their own interests?
Once again, I'm not saying a good word about Putin. My point is there are 2 bad actors here. Countries like Ireland should be calling for peace talks and not peddling the US narrative like sock puppets.
Multiple links to the Madeleine Albright 60 minutes interview, I posted a different one a few posts back -
