I mean, the world is a fucked up place, and a lot of evil people are in charge. That’s one reason why people point out when countries do war crimes though, to point out the hypocrisy and to make sure people understand the fucked up things their countries do. You shouldn’t be getting upset at the people pointing out was crimes when war crimes are committed, you should be getting upset at the countries committing war crimes.

I’m not getting upset at the people pointing it out, I’m saying that guilty by simply aiding a country makes the whole warcrimes thing pointless.
