Few nations without corpses in the basement in their history. Important the current behavior, the history of other countries can't be used as valuation without hypocrisy, only if they had not learned from it.
That's a good point. The real problem is that the land and resources they stole through brazen force still remain in the hands of Western megacorps in a system of neocolonialism, and whenever any of the exploited countries try to tax or regulate that (much less reclaim their resources altogether), they get sanctioned into oblivion, if not overthrown outright.
Has the UK learned from it?
Britain has a borderline unfixable economy - according to expert economists - and is about to put the final nail in the coffin by electing Reform so perhaps what goes around comes around.
Certainly not much
Has russia?
And no, the (y)uk has somehow unlearned.
Looking at recent history, some have more than others and have the riches to show for the destruction they engaged in.
