"Yet Blair/Bush, in the eyes billions are war criminals, they caused untold devastation, millions died/injured, county split in half, civil war, yet both claim to have achieved success by liberating the Iraqi people, and today both walk free and earning millions by doing a few hours of the odd speech here and there."
true, and Putin is also a thug and a criminal, but our leaders are not much better, we supply the bombs that kill innocent civilians in Yemen, we have also killed millions in colonialism, as have many western countries. The US has toppled many democratically elected governments, and they killed millions of innocent people in Vietnam to mention just one country.
Putin may be awful, but they all are, the reporting is just slanted.
I agree with TDT, there are no allies or enemies, just interests. Evidence of that is the sudden rehabilitation of Iran (Isreal had been the main block on that one until American interests trumped theirs) and now Venezuela.
The world is a horrible place when global, or domestic political , interests are the main priority, well above human life, western leaders are as guilty as Putin.
