So far historically it was “they’re not Christians”, then it was “wrong location” (cause they wanted the land/resources), then it was “they’re not the right race”, then it was “wrong economic system”, and now it’s “wrong culture”; what’s next do you think?

EDIT: By justifiable I don’t mean it’s actually justifiable, I mean most people will consider it justifiable.

    Basically the justification for bombing Yemen, “they’re threatening the sea lanes and international shipping!!”

    Nevermind that they are doing a targeted embargo to stop a literal genocide, the specter of treat stoppage is used as justification for violence in response.
