"Your boy cracked my son's head!"

"Your boy started it first. He broke mine's leg!"

"Yeah, a cracked head is not even remotely similar to a broken leg!"

Moral of the story: Broken legs are normal.

In the world of international relations, there really are no good guys.

But in a world where everyone is a bad guy, hypocrisy can be forgiven, since it keeps other bad guys in check despite its self-serving intent. Hypocrisy, whether European, Russian, American or Chinese, keeps the peace.
