So that excuses the many people being killed by Hussein with the support of the Usa, like Saddam Hussein wasn't treating many like sh1t? In the fifties Iran had a reasonable democratic nation, but the CIA and MI5 decided they wanted to overthrow them and instate a puppet dictatorship, which was oppressing the Iranians heavily, then they were thrown of by a Islamic revolution and suddenly the Usa had no reach to the oil. Oil and influence was the reason for the war against Iran, not the diplomats, that was just an excuse.
And I cannot justify that, so jumping to the defence of Kuwait was the right thing to do.
You mean 9/11? I hope you didn't. Osama Bin Laden was the brian after the attack, not Hussein. Bin Laden was captured in Pakistan and has been living with Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan/Pakistan, you know only a 1000 miles from Iraq...
What?!? Wasn't he denying that he had those? Didn't the Usa use this as an excuse to invade Iraq? Didn't Tony Blair admit that invading Iraq in 2003 was wrong?
No justification for that, but Bahrain also did kill a hunderd of their citizens in 2011, many were injured and tortured, barely any action was undertaken. Again the Usa/NATO is selective in its spreading of justice.
And more than just that, so stopping them was good. As I said earlier, Croatia killad also a lot of people, yet nothing really happen. Again selective justice.
No, they have been killing Americans instead. 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis in the 9/11 attacks, Bin Laden got a lot of support from Saudi Arabia. America is turning a blind eye for this. They may be not killing their citizens, but they are opressing the Shia minority there.
Invisible? They are quite rich and are financing Jihadi groups, which have been killing many in Syria, so I wouldn't call them 'invisible'.
Because you are elected, doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, he has been putting European money in his pocket instead of helping Ukraine, if he doesn't change, how long before people will get mad? Durterte has been killing many in his war on drugs, doesn't mean it is okay just because he's elected.
A long time ago (Hawai). Annexing Crimea can be justified, the people are pro-Russia (the 'referendum' is not trustworthy, however as the turnout was low), but I remember once reading on Die Welle (possibly another German news source, Im no that sure) that in a secret investigation, 65% supported joining Russia, while the remaining 35% was divided between Ukraine, full independence or not knowing, I can't find the article anymore, so don't quote me on that. However according to multiple western sources, Many Crimeans support staying with Russia (Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Guardian,...).
Also, security was a great concern, as Russia would be completely encircled by NATO. Russia would be confortable with Crimea hosting the 6th Usa fleet.
Both Mossadeq and Britain were to blame, neither the nationalization nor the coup were legal.
Saddam was obviously out for the oil. The reason he got the support was the illegal hostage situation.
Saddam tried to assassinate George H.W. Bush when he visited Saudi Arabia.
He denied, but his behaviour towards inspectors left a lot to be desired.
He acted like he was hiding the WMD, perhaps afraid that if Iran had believed
he did not have any, they would attack.
Bahrain was over pretty quickly, so I guess the public did not react.
NATO was reluctant to do anything at first in Libya, but realized soon
that public opinion demanded action.
Same in Serbia. Public Opinion demanded action against Serbia.
Even more reluctance from the European Governments, but
Madeline Albright forced her will.
As a European Jew, born before WW2, she knew when there was a need to draw a line.
Croats has been brought to the ICC as well.
While the 9/11 attack was performed by Saudis, it is yet to be proven
that it was the Saudi Government behind the attack.
The proven money trail from Saudis to Al-Qaeda is not enough.
In public opinion here, they are invisible.
That does not mean that You are wrong.
But governments are not pressured to act on them.
Neither Poroshenko or Duterte are behaving in such a way that Europe will intervene.
Europe should work with Ukraine to improve their government,
and introduce rules. This will reduce corruption long term.
Duterte is a basket case, and they need to sort out that problem internally.
The Crimea annexation put and end to the hope on Russia, and effectively
started Cold War II, where the Russians are suffering the most.
