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?
