If we each must not criticize because "our own house isn't in order," then no one will ever be able to criticize anything.
We keep seeing the phrasing "The US is this" or "Russia is that" as if the very words were somehow weapons. What I wonder at is this embedded notion that any of it is a representation of the people who live there... when we pretty much seem to agree that it is a person, or group that is making the problem manifest... distinctly NOT American, in general.. and NOT Russians in general... these people will having you fighting each other 'out of context'... it's all Koyaanisqatsi-like.
The standard come back is "you Americans." [or] "You Russians "allow" this to go on".... so who's in fantasy-land now?
We all know damn-well that it HAS NEVER BEEN the "Americans," or the "Russians," or the "British," or anyone else as a nation or group... it is always just a few people driven by their own demons that make this "global" reality what it is... namely, people dying by the thousands over dirt and "retribution." All the while they fumble with the fact that we are not as stupid as they would have us believe.
I apologize for the potential triggering that might result from saying that in such a manner.
