…unless they also condemn the USA for invading Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

Most European territories serve the USA’s geopolitical goals. Sanctions against Russia right now are part of that. There’s nothing moral about it. It’s simply a service to the USA for being in its sphere of influence. There is nothing, not a single shred of integrity in that.

If you find a territory which sanctions Russia for its crime, and also the USA for its crimes, you can recognise it as a real principled act.

    UN and the international community considered that the USA was legitimate to demand the extradition of Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan and that the invasion was aimed to restore the international peace, in adequacy with the article 51 of the chart of UN.

      “International community” is the same as “western countries”, which represents 25% of the world population at most. And which specific UN resolution permitted a military invasion and 20 years of military occupation?
