You are reading motives into my argument that aren't there. I am not claiming europe is moral, has a mandate to police anyone, or deserves immunity from judgement. I am not trying to justify Iraq, Libya or Gaza, and I am not asking anyone to view those actions as lesser.

My only point is that political structures differ, and that this matters for understanding how states act and how their citizens can influence them. That's not a moral hierarchy and not an excuse - just a factual distinction. If you reject the idea that internal political structure makes any difference at all, then we are working with entirely different premises.

At that stage there is no meaningful basis for comparison or discussion. I have stated my view and you disagree. OK.

You really think I'm going to keep taking you seriously after bullshit like this?

Fuck off, you lying white supremacist troll. Take your fascist "agenda" elsewhere.
