That's fair enough Gat, but only one of those entities portrayed itself as 'the ambassador of the free world' under the cloak of so called 'global democracy'.
What is actually funny is at the same time in the mid-80's when the United States of America was trying to convince itself they were somehow righteous in getting involved in all sorts of global murderous criminality in order to "combat the threat from Moscow", the USSR was falling in top of its own ar$e and neither the US/British intelligence services were able to cop that this was happening.
Totally agree ,I'm never going to defend American foreign policies , While America was off on its crusades against communism , other countries were flooding countries with weapons and technology ,if it wasn't for the Israelies Saddam would have gotten nukes ,my point is from the middle to Africa many countries were flooded with russian weaponry as well as American , Belgian , french and Swiss to a degree ,
It's believed the gas Saddam used in Halabja 1988= was a mix of mustard and vx earlier in the same year Cuban forces used the same compound against forces in Angola ,
We know that America were not supplying cuba with weapons or technology at the time ,
America just had to sit back and watch Soviet Russia collapse and the fall of Berlin wall to Ukraine gaining independence without guns and bombs , but no they didn't see the obvious was happening in front of their own eyes as you said you above

Yea and there scum too, but you just called Rumsfeld wiley and shrewd
He was he sat at the big table for 40 years ,he was only one voice ,there was plenty of people to say no this is not the way to go ,
I supported the removal of the Taliban from Afghanistan but not the tieing the Hands of the military behind their backs while blindfolded and ask to fight someone they know nothing about ,
But America didn't cause Afghanistan ,that came thought the russian , America was involved but they didn't massacre the democratic government nor did they take a scorched earth policy against the Afghans and literally bombed the country back to the stone age , before leaving with their tails between their legs

No on the scale done by the Russians, they bombed towns , villages into submission up to and including using chemical weapons , irrigation systems and other content civilian infrastructure were destroyed ,,and millions of landmines were planted most were never marked and mapped , still people are dying from russian mines dating back to the 70's
We've not seen indiscriminate bombings and gunship attacks ,
And yes there has been civilians killed in US actions but definitely not on the Russian scale of damage done ,
And at least NATO has been building electricity grids and rebuilding infrastructure for civilian use , hospitals and schools which repeatedly get blown up by the Taliban

When was the last time Assad chopped up a journalist in a foreign country.
Butchered his own population, tortured tens of thousands,bombed civilian markets,used chemical weapons against his own population.
Killed foreign journalists reporting on his war crimes.
Only putin and Kim in North Korea match him

For most part they haven't , plenty of Russian propaganda or sponsored articles claiming they didn't happen , meanwhile russia have spent serious efforts blocking any and all investigations into chemical weapons attacks similar to what they did during the MH17 investigations , remember how that didn't happen either 😆
