meanwhile the us client, israel, is also doing appalling things.

putin is surely thinking - why the heck is it okay for israel to kill innocents and not me?

why is the outrage inconsistent?

and the answer is, that is also not okay in my book.

there is hypocrisy. it is a point we've made many times. the us really lost its moral standing during the iraq war. the us' sense of its own exceptionalism is a problem in the world.

but that doesn't make what putin did okay. if putin thinks the us was wrong, he can't demonstrate russian virtue by doing something wrong himself.

as a separate matter, yes, the us also did something iniquitous. but right now, pooty-poot, you are on the hot seat.
