If you want to read the "ethical framework" of western fascism.

spoilerWilliam F. Buckley said in 1988: “What evidence have we to say that the Soviet Union has, in fact, its intentions to rule the world? We are trapped by the notion that we are both superpowers — ‘Why don’t we do this when they do that?’ But they have been the aggressors. It is written into their charter that they are the aggressors. To say that we and the Soviet Union are to be compared is the equivalent of saying that the man who pushes the old lady into the way of an oncoming bus, and the man who pushes the old lady out of the way of an oncoming bus, are both people who push old ladies around.”

It has always been fashionable in the post-World War II world, even in the death throes of the USSR, to believe that there is always an equivalency between rivals, because there is merely power.

Power cannot be good, power cannot be bad. It simply is. And to the extent that one side can be called evil in any power struggle, you’re usually bad if you’re on the side that manages to impose that power on your enemy.

Self-proclaimed cynic takes the "world's most moral army" at their word. Absolutely no chance they would want "positive" PR on their operational practices as the list of their war crimes grows.

Anyone who self-describes as a Calvinist in the 21st century should be shot on sight.
