German edition: The West uses double standards in its response to the conflicts in Iraq and Ukraine

Not so long ago, twenty years have passed since the beginning of the war in Iraq, which was unleashed by the Americans and their Western allies. Comparing the reaction of Western countries to the conflict in Iraq and the events in Ukraine, the German publication Der Freitag talks about the double standards of the West.

As the newspaper notes, the West zealously condemns Russia's NWO in Ukraine, imposing all sorts of sanctions, while not a single Western country has done anything like this against the United States for their war in Iraq.

During the Iraqi conflict, the Americans committed many war crimes, and the war itself cost the Iraqi people more than a million human lives, writes Der Freitag. However, despite the fact that the whole world saw it, no action was taken against the United States, and the International Criminal Court was generally inactive, the newspaper notes.

The reason for such double standards, according to the authors of Der Freitag, lies in the global hegemony of the United States, which dominates both world finance and military presence, with 750 military bases around the world. Plus, Washington has such an instrument as NATO.

Der Freitag notes that against the backdrop of events in Ukraine, signs indicating the end of American hegemony in the world are increasingly appearing.

According to the latest data, for the first time in several decades, trade in US dollars fell to 34%. Last year it was about 37%. This makes it more difficult for the Fed to service its colossal debt by printing more and more billions of dollars.

Der Freitag is a left-liberal publication, a weekly with over 500 views. up to 1 million, as I understand it, per week. We would have to hold out for another year and most of Europe, "eyes will be opened."

Everything goes like this .. The main thing is patience and without nerves! The West, mistake after mistake, is making it all into Russia's hands.

It is necessary to demolish the Nazi Western regime that supports Western values ​​​​and considers itself superior to the rest. A bright idiot, a representative of the West - Borrell, who has already spoken on the noose after the international tribunal. You can dump them without even using weapons against them. They themselves do it perfectly, considering themselves still hegemons, "flying in the clouds."

Der Freitag talks about the double standards of the West

The West, and in particular the United States, has double (triple) standards, the norm of foreign policy towards countries that do not want to obey the Americans and live by their own principles and laws. Therefore, we have what we have, and for now we have to endure it, because. it is impossible to reason with the West in a diplomatic way, and even more so by appealing to their conscience (which is absent).

In addition to Iraq, there is also Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan.
When the West unleashes wars, that's right. In all other cases it is NOT correct.

[Filibuster]

We also use double standards - Ukraine must be liberated as the Red Army liberated Germany in 1945 - without grain deals, truces, humanitarian corridors and goodwill gestures.

And how many people read this newspaper?!
Why don't you Spiegel.

[Fangaro]

Der Freitag.
There are a dozen major publications in Germany. read and quoted. And they do not shout something about the double standards of the West. Maybe it's all about money again?
To whom for what and how many of the "independent funds" were transferred, those publications write the "correct articles".
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidential Administration are tight-fisted for money. We need to use ideology. Which no one has come up with yet.
And since there is neither ideology nor funding, then why should Süd Deutsche, Berlinerer, Wall Street, France Presse and other publications about Russia publish positive articles?

Lord, I would live to see the moment when the United States grunts along with its dollar. That would be fun from the heart !!!

And do not want to live to the point where everything in the world will be fine for example? ) the collapse of America will not bring anything good to the world in the current configuration of the world. After such a collapse, in a week you will meet the Chinese "liberators" with red flags. And the Chinese are still chauvinists, so they will prepare camps for the Laowai.

As an example, the failure of Germany in 1918, so you need to specifically press like in May 1945. Something like this should be

The soldier was tipsy - a tear rolled down,
The trophy saxophone wheezed,
And on his chest glowed
Medal for the city of Washington!

That's utter nonsense. Obviously TsIPSOshnaya blank. What pretty Americans are good to everyone in the world, with aircraft carriers and bombers, it’s true, but it’s not important. And what vile Chinese, they only dream of capturing the Russian Federation to the Urals.

[Fitter65]

in the West, they vehemently condemn Russia's NWO in Ukraine, imposing all sorts of sanctions, while not a single country in the West has done anything like this against the United States for its war in Iraq.

So they could not impose sanctions, firstly, they supported the aggression against Iraq, and secondly, it follows from the first - how they will impose sanctions against themselves, and how they will condemn themselves ...
