When you find a video of a Russian journalist putting Putin on the spot whether the deaths of Ukrainian children was worth it who can sleep easy in their bed as a result I'm sure your righteousness will have found a proper home.
I'm not sure what point you're making here?

If it's that the sanctions imposed on Iraq were completely ineffective and even counterproductive, but the US continued with them anyway causing many needless deaths, then I agree with you.

If it's that we aren't allowed be disgusted by comments made by a Western government official, for the sole reason that other world leaders (the baddies) are not subject to the same journalistic scrutiny at home, then that is absurd.
