Americans, Frenchmen, Germans, Turks, Chinese, Bri'ish, Kenyans, Iranians... Pick any national origin, and you will see a fraction of them commit war crimes. So why focus on one nation, when those crimes are commited by individuals, and often ordered by entrenched unelected bureaucratic government interests?

Why blame all Americans, all Chinese, for the crimes of a few of them? All Chinese didn't force Uighurs into organ harvesting camps. All Turks didn't genocide Armenians, All Americans don't commit war crimes every 20 minutes, although some gangs in Chicago come close if you loosen your definition of "war crimes".

Americans are responsible for the crimes of their state. As are Russians responsible for the crimes of their state. Such is the nature of citizenship.

Are you American? Then fix the crimes of your state. Are you not-Russian? You can do nothing about Russia for as long as you are unable to jail your own war criminals.

The moral authority you claim is non-existent.

Americans* are literally extorted by their state, democratic accountability is a myth, as the bureaucracy remains, and the results are imposed even if you refuse to participate. Courts take years and decades, and do not judge against themselves. A more direct method of accountability, has, every time, been used to expand the surveillance state and the militarization of police.

The only remaining effective option is to identify the source of the problem, and shift public opinion to recognize it; With further draconian measures, more people notice the corruption and overextension of the state, and with enough people alternate means of accountability become viable. Until then you're mushed crabs dispersing amongst the waves and cliffs.

Where have I claimed moral authority?

*all citizens of all nations are

>democratic accountability is a myth

Then your nation is a farce and you should be rioting. The fact you aren't is due to the decadence that the military-industrial complex provides. Too bad its dependent on the death of innocent people around the world.

Or, just perhaps, you should hold yourselves accountable, and resist the anti-Wikileaks agitprop that is clearly coming from the very war criminals, themselves, in order to escape justice from public oversight.

>Where have I claimed moral authority?

Justifying American war crimes and crimes against humanity, whatabout-ma'-Russia, is a particular type of posturing designed to elevate the moral authority to commit those crimes over any other nation. The USA is not a moral nation, by any stretch of the imagination - it does not take care of its own people, even, and is murdering innocent people, on average, every twenty minutes ..

If that is not the #1 priority for your political mind to address, then you do not have any moral authority to address the Russia situation.

Where have I justified war crimes, broski?

How would rioting benefit? So far it has only played right into their hands.

Again; Where have I claimed moral authority?

I have listed various nations not to compare them and declare one to be better than others "because of muh morals". I was merely pointing out how war crimes are commited by all nations, and hinting at the fact that war in itself is a crime, only possible by the extortion of the populace. Saying Americans are "muh evil", is guilt by association, and does not identify the root cause. How effective has it been to get Americans to effect change by calling them evil? Otherizing whole swaths of the world population based on the actions of their local slave masters, is not going to ingrain trust in your judgment, instead is more likely to have them reject and ignore you as some radical blowhard.

Also, you are the one who has mentioned Russia, not me. You and I both know the Motherland is the only nation where the people truely pay their taxes voluntarily, government actually works to support the people and not some corporations, war is a myth, and milk and honey flows. I would never speak up against the Motherland, Tovarisch.

Your deployment of the "ma' Russia" narrative belies a glib understanding of the issues in the region.

The USA kill innocent people every twenty minutes, and is the #1 funder of terrorism and calamity across the globe. This is only possible because of ignorant bootlickers choosing to cowardly ignore the crimes and engage in distraction.

Put out the bigger fire: the US' funding of terror across the globe in order to foment conditions for further weapons sales.

Thank you for conceding the point. I too condemn the USA for being one of the globalist funders of terrorism, closely followed by the French- and British-governments, etc.
