Oh fuuuuuck off. People are being slaughtered in hones and schools and this, THIS is what the "experts" are warning of? The West deserves it and has exactly zero right to complain, and I say that as a Westerner so I'm including myself that assertion.

    The west

    Not like Spain is causing this. This is Israel and the US.

    Spain still supports the Western empire by being in it and benefiting from the exploitation of the periphery. The EU alone has done plenty to support the atrocities in the Middle East, and Spain has, at the very least, witnessed all of that (if not actively participated) and still sees fit to stay in the EU.

    Full political and economic support of the US's invasion? Not even ruling out Canadian military involvement in the future? Oh sorry, "regrettable" full support. Like that makes it okay. As a Canadian, Canada's response to this has been disgusting. And especially ironic for a country whose sovereignty the US is also threatening, but I'm sure if you help the leopard hunt other prey they won't turn around and eat your face after.

    Canada and every other Western country should be raising hell over this and isolating the US for its unprovoked invasion of another country. Canada got so high and mighty about sanctioning Russia for Ukraine, what makes this different? God forbid you expect moral standards your country has been on a high horse about for the last several years to be equally applied to the West.

    So it is not Britain, France, the US, the Soviet Union that destabilized the Middle East. It is the EU, that without an army, a common foreign policy and a common mandate that caused it.

    And Spain obviously, those evil apathetic monsters.

    It's material analysis of the motivations of the proletariat. Yes this is what experts are warning about, consequences to the war makers for starting war. Everyone on this site is reading both the grizzly details of the warcrimes AND the economic impacts which overall effect their lives.

    Hey, Westerner, you DO have a right to complain, and you SHOULD, about ALL OF IT. And NEVER STOP. And you DON'T deserve it, you didn't do anything. Which part of the west is responsible for this fuckup, and is there a chance that one or more people in this nebuluous West thing don't deserve it because they didn't want it? Complain about the human cost and the money making your life harder too. I beg you to bitch. You're not a murderer, you're in the murderer's dungeon.
