We should stop talking about China here, there is another thread for it. The Chinese don't want to pick a side, we don't expect the world to divide into camps, we want to get along well with both Russians and the West. However, as the old Chinese saying goes"the tree may crave calm, but the wind will not dropp "

You can't just act like China shouldn't be talked about in this war when their government has supported them publically. Something about no limits to their friendship treaty?

If you want to be treated like a big boy on the world stage you need to accept that people will treat you like a big boy. Otherwise isolate yourself and stop trading with the world.

A stab on the back of your friend sounds like a big boy action?
Come on, we all know who is the target if Russia fell.
We don't want to pick a side, but we have to. Zelensky recently said he is satisfied with China's choice,which means, in my comprehension, -had not supportted Russia openly.

Why your country did not quit NATO when NATO killed at least tens of thousands civilians in Asia? Is it not against humanity because the people you killed are not 'civilized' humans?

NATO has never started a war, much less committed genocide or systematic killing of cilians. I don't know what sources you're relying on, but they've been feeding you lies.

If a NATO member shows aggression against another country, other NATO members are not bound to come to their aid. This is because NATO is not an offensive alliance, but a defensive pact.
NATO members are bound to come to the defense of a NATO member who's home soil (not property) is attacked by another country.

The obvious NATO country that rapidly wouldn't have any friends with Ghostcom's advice is the US. Beyond NATO, the next western country to be friendless would likely be Israel.

Israel being a country engaged in an ongoing criminal occupation and attempted ethnic cleansing that has western support.

While NATO is the wrong term to use, Denmark was one of the countries supporting the invasion of Iraq, which can in many ways be compared to the invasion of Ukraine. There are also ways in which it differs, and ways denmark differs from China, but some degree of whataboutism is kinda warranted. None of this justifies current support for Russia or inaction, but I highly understand opposition to a perceived western holier than thou attitude.

Whataboutism is never warranted, or even acceptable. All it does is derail a discussion.

If you want to argue the legality of an action according to international law, one can bring examples of successful cases of such application of laws as justification, but it makes no sense to say: "but they also broke the law, so it's fine".

Which is what 'some degree of' and 'none of this ....' adresses. But many western countries supported an invasion we thought was abhorrent and immoral because we were dependent on maintaining a good relationship with the US. People from those countries should perhaps be a bit cautious with holier than thou style arguments levied towards countries dependent on maintaining a good relationship with Russia. Again, us having been wrong in the past does not justify others being wrong in the future, but we should have some degree of humility while acknowledging and recognizing that yes, the west is guilty of severe past human rights abuses and that we're also supporting countries currently engaging in such abuses.

The official reason for the invasion was made up bullshit and everybody involved in the decision knew it.

Well done, Drone.

You've successfully derailed the thread. Rename it to the Iraq War thread now.

People have discussed China for pages now? You yourself discussed the Arab spring 3 pages ago. Many topics are tangentially related to this topic and can deserve some degree of attention given to them. I do agree that there's a limit to how much time should be spent on it, but a handful of posts tackling the Iraq invasion from a perspective of 'are western countries hypocritical' is imo entirely on point. A meta discussion centered around what is acceptable however sounds fairly pointless, so this will be my last contribution on just that.

The official reason for the invasion was made up bullshit and everybody involved in the decision knew it.

And it was to unseat a horrible dictator and still worked out horribly, even with trillions spent on rebuilt, the blitz working and used as an example of what not to do. So when Russia did the unprovoked attack of a democracy to expand their territory, countries around the world, rightfully so, said this is bad stop.
Not, welp other countries have done other bad things we should probably let this slide.


We should and you are right. Just answered a question, there were similarities.
