- Yugoslavia (spoiling merry Serbian-led Muslim genocide party - in spite of Russia's UN obstruction),
List boy returns! So genocide parties are fine. Ukraine killed 14,000 peaceful protestors during it's civil war from 2014 to the start of the SMO, and was poised to 'de-Russify' Donbas and Crimea before Russia intervened to protect it's ethnic population. 30,000+ arabs have been killed so far during Israel's ethic cleansing of Palestine, with pretty much only the US providing UN obstruction.
Libya (Pan Am 103 Lockerbie, Gaddafi the great democrat slaughtering his own people),
Uhuh. Threatening to de-dollarise had absolutely no influence on that decision that's resulted in the slaughter of far more Libyans than Gadaffi ever managed. Also can you point me to the relevant international law that permits invasion and regime change for allegedly destroying an aircraft? See also Iran Air Flight 655.
But Libya, Syria and Ukraine all had something in common. Peaceful protestors turn violent when mysterious figures start firing into crowds. More weapons appear and it's your classic coup in a can. In Ukraine, most of the protestors and police who were killed were shot from an elevated position, ie the mystery shooters on rooftops the Bbc and other media reported on. The official narrative is Ukraine police started firing first, and everyone was presumably naruto running at each other, which might go some way to explaining the trajectories of the wound channels.
Iraq? Well, Kuwait may have justified GW1, but not 2. Wasn't that one because of the WMD that never existed?
Afghanistan (another advanced country
That was the generic 'war on terror' and the hunt for Bin Laden. Who wasn't in Afghanistan. 20yrs and a few trillion later, the US ran away and abandoned Afghanistan to the Taliban. Which will probably be the same fate that Ukraine will suffer.
Yeah, right. Even India don't buy their crap anymore
You.. don't think that might be political pressure? But the world's seen NATO vs Russia in action now, and can draw it's own conclusions. Want HIMARS? Sure, give Lockheed Martin $20m per launcher and $400k per missile. Deliveries can be expected some time after 2027 as there's a bit of an order backlog. Or perhaps Raytheon can tempt you with a $2.5bn air defence battery? Missiles are only $7m a shot, and perfect for shooting down say, swarms of 20x drones. Only $140m+ per attack, and you'll need more than 1 battery to launch that many missiles. But $5bn+ buys peace of mind, doesn't it? Oh and if those batteries happen to be the target, replacements can be delivered starting 2030. Backlogged again.
Or why not buy plain'ol 155mm artillery? Orders for field guns and SPGs for delivery 2030 onwards. Ammunition not included as, well, backlogs again.
But all rather off-topic. It isn't Russia sabotaging our infrastructure, yet. It's our own useful idiots. If our weapons manufactures and arms industries start suffering from industrial accidents, as is happening inside Russia, well, maybe that will be Russia. But they don't seem to have started doing that.. yet.
