heard an interesting term the other day - "American or US exceptionalism"
the idea that if America does it than it must be ok but if anyone else does its not ok....
its a warcrime or illegal or against the UN charter of human rights etc etc
eg Russian invading Ukraine is unprovoked and a war crime.
US invading Iraq, turning iraq into a carpark and destabilising the region by enabling ISIS, setting off random terrorist violence in western cities, is not a war crime....not illegal, its America so it must be "ok and just"
this is the koolaid you speak off
and russia is slowly dripping some truth serum into that koolaid
