…unless they also condemn the USA for invading Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

Most European territories serve the USA’s geopolitical goals. Sanctions against Russia right now are part of that. There’s nothing moral about it. It’s simply a service to the USA for being in its sphere of influence. There is nothing, not a single shred of integrity in that.

If you find a territory which sanctions Russia for its crime, and also the USA for its crimes, you can recognise it as a real principled act.

    Only the USA has ever used nukes against people. So it probably would do so again, if there is ever a strategic advantage. It is literally the only state we know cannot be trusted with nukes.

    had the US not used the nukes more people would have died as a result, so yes, US is not a state which can’t be trusted with nukes. And Pakistan is the only Islamic republic with nukes, thankfully and unfortunately. They constantly threaten India of using Nukes. Pakistan’s nukes pose a challenge to peace as the Pakistanis and their government is not immune to coups(as history has proven).

      That is a bold statement. Nuclear armaggedon described as a trolley problem. How do you figure?
