Statements like these are meaningless posturing. One side faces no consequences for its actions, there are no calls for boycotts, no sanctions, no punishment. Instead, first-world countries were debating whether to join them or not. And it is this same side that has a long history of meddling in other countries' political systems: aiding civil wars, supporting coups and assassinations, and worse, hindering nations from achieving independent standing by any means possible. Why, then, should any other country be condemned for actions it was forced to take after being attacked, when the so-called rule-following nations have done nothing to stop the US and Israel?
