This post is from RT, about Ukraine/Russia/Belarus but the biggest thread in here is rehashing the Iraq occupation.

the 'punishment' of russia is night and day to what we saw happen to the US and its western allies after the invasion of iraq. you can go and cry about 'whataboutism' as much as you'd like, but those of us who live in a world not shrouded by a willful amnesia of a past historical events can see the gross display of hypocrisy for what it is—namely a confirmation by the western world that some victims (of war) are worth more than others
