[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad and incredible that some on this thread equate US military actions with those of Russia and the like. Sure, the US is not perfect, but there is a MASSIVE difference. For example, compare how the US fights with precise bombs on military targets vs. Russia’s indiscriminate shelling of towns, civilian infrastructure, train stations, and civilian convoys. Sure, the US sometimes hits the wrong target, but ON THE WHOLE, the US actually fights MUCH more cleanly. Also, consider how prisoners of war are treated. Yes, the US lost its moral compass a bit immediately following 9/11, but we stopped those practices and they were the exception, not the rule. Russia ROUTINELY beats, tortures, and mutilates its POWs. Again, there is no equivalency. [/quote]
Disagree completely.  If we are standing in opposition to a deliberate and uncalled for war of aggression by Russia ( which we should), then we sure as sh!+ need to acknowledge our own sins.  Calling out Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity without doing the same with regards to our own military and political leaders who betrayed our values is hypocrisy of the nth degree.  I think the administration is mostly taking the right track with Ukraine and Russia but our penance is wholly incomplete until we fully acknowledge our failings and atone for our wars of aggression, especially those in the post-911 era.  If this means offering up for prosecution in The Hague the Bushes, Cheneys, Wolfowitzes, Rices, Caseys, Petreuses, Sanchezes, etc.  American exceptionalism should not just be a talking point but truly real.[/quote]
