The hypocrisy and selective outrage of the supporters of NATO/US/UK is nauseating. Their pretence at outrage over unproven and disputed "war crimes" by Russia, Syria or whoever the current "Enemy du jour" happens to be, contrasts sharply with their indifference towards proven and undisputed war crimes by NATO/US/UK.
If they were not outraged and demanding war crimes trials after the Abu Ghraib prison torture pictures were released, if they are indifferent to the current deliberate and blatant targeting of civilians by Israel now(in a refugee camp
) and were equally silent when the illegal renditioning and torture of detainees at black sites and Guantanamo Bay was revealed-then I call bullshit on their pretence of shock and horror of "alleged" war crimes of Russia and others. Especially when the accusations are coming from the perpetrators, and their propagandists, who committed the above and more.
Proven US/NATO war crimes on the most colossal scale since the end of WW2 are unmatched in their brutality and frequency. Chemical and biological weapons use in Vietnam/Korea, Deaths squads in Latin America, the list is endless(all acknowledged true) and the deaths uncountable and unfathomable.
Since 9/11 alone;
The U.S. post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those countries. As of September 2021, an estimated 387,073 civilians in these countries have died violent deaths as a result of the wars. As of May 2023, an estimated 3.6-3.7 million people have died indirectly in post-9/11 war zones. The total death toll in these war zones could be at least 4.5-4.6 million and counting, though the precise mortality figure remains unknown. Civilian deaths have also resulted from U.S. post-9/11 military operations in Somalia and other countries. -

Deaths such as the estimated 500,000 Iraqis who died because of sanctions on medicines and was regarded as "a price worth paying" according to Madeleine Albright, US Secretary of state at the time would not be included in "violent deaths". Nor would the 100,000's of Yemeni civilian deaths from starvation after deliberate bombing of civilian infrastructure by UK/US/Saudi coalition be included in "violent deaths". Outrage and demanding of war crimes trials by the perpetrators of the above is not to be taken seriously.
The false outrage over unverified reports and youtube footage from people who are completely indifferent to proven Western crimes which are by magnitudes greater renders any point they are trying to make, without merit.
