The latest contretemps between Russia and Ukraine what a farce U.S. efforts to appease "world opinion" are. Or better said how hypocritical. Russia blatantly and with little apology invades a neighboring country, and the best the world can do is make empty threat of "consequences." Why empty? Because Continental Europe is not about to forego 40% of their natural gas supply and a large portion of their oil supply. When Israel retaliates against Gaza for sending flaming balloons into Israel, see In Gaza, Israel Aims To Massacre Hope, Israel never hears the end of it.
In another example, China gets a free pass on massive use of water to create Olympic ski slopes in semi-arid areas where it rarely snows. Where's Greta Thunberg?
"World opinion" is largely a chimera. The terms "world opinion" or the "International community" come are easy to come to the lips or the fingertips (rhyme not intentional). There is little or no analysis of what either term means, or what constitutes the "international community" or "world opinion." This has allowed for some extremely weak thought processes and reasoning.The world's population is over seven and one half billion people. I don't think any reputable pollsters are out gauging the opinion of the people of the world on any given topic.
By necessity, the views of the "international community" are taken as the view of the "leaders" of countries, typically at the U.N. level or from statements to the media by the actual heads of state or prime ministers. As anyone listening to the opening speeches at the U.N. General Assembly knows, some of these speeches border on deranged.
Why, in other words, is only the Democratic West subject to guilt trips?
Stop whining, you can't answer the question and your lies and gaslighting doesn't make you look good at all. You know that no one believes your BS don't you? When confronted with facts, you are like "But whadda bout dat HILARY she's controlling all these LIBERALS"
Pitiful & sad.
What question? Lies? Hillary's dossier was a lie. It's not like it can even be debated? When you have Marxist Democrats and Organizations like BLM, ANTIFI, burning and destroying businesses across the country, and your Fellow Leftists like Putin attacking the Ukraine, of course its people like you and your fellow Leftist that have a common bed fellow
