Here is U.N.Secretary-General António Guterres.
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has triggered "the most massive violations of human rights" in the world today, the head of the United Nations said Monday, as the war pushed into its second year with no end in sight and tens of thousands dead.https://t.co/XpM0Lu7rb8

I don’t recall this level of denunciation and condemnation on the part of UN officialdom whenGeorge W. Bushinvaded Iraq and killed over a million people.
There was criticism, most prominently by then Secretary General of the UN,Kofi Annan. He said the neocon invasion violated the UN Charter. Kofi said it was illegal.
Nothing came of this, naturally. There are rules, and they are “based” on whatever the rulers dictate, and the rules then and now dictate the USG, the United States Government, may do as it wishes, no different than any other enforcer of an authoritarian ideology.
The double standard is plain as day.The USG may, without fear of repercussion, and under the cover of false pretense and engineered lies, invade another county, kill thousands if not millions of its citizens, and claim it is promoting “democracy.”
Even if it is revealed a war is based entirely on lies and fabrication, as the Iraq war obviously was, the perpetrators, the neocons in this instance, not only escape culpability, they are allowed to retreat to think tanks and media corporations. Is it any wonder they seep back into government—or never left in the first place—and are now once again dictating foreign policy?
The neoconsarethe foreign policy establishment, never mind which of the two uniparty factions we might be talking about. During Bush II,Dick Cheneywas allowed to drive the neocon foreign policy dream, or nightmare rather, and oversee the widespread destruction across the Middle East.
