You speak mostly of murderous autocrats who attack their own people. That covers Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia.

Not sure where you are going with Bahrain.

As far as Yemen the official government of Yemen is a democracy and its opponents believe in eternal theocratic autocracy blessed by God.

No Those very specific countries were run by murderous autocrats attacking their own people to maintain their unjust and injustifiable rule.

Don't you think there's a chance that that narrative of "murderous autocrats" was manufactured post hoc to rationalize NATO's aggression?

Otherwise it's a mighty coincidence that the West only "intervenes" in places that are simultaneously relevant to Western geopolitical-economic interests and just happen to have a "murderous autocrat" begging to be toppled.

So convenient that the bloc which dominates the global media landscape is always narratively-justified in its murder campaigns. Nothing fishy there!

Let's pick one. Milosovic. Would you like to take a stab at defending him or shall I speak for the prosecution first?
