I wonder at what point these countries will loose any moral ground against the likes of Russia, China etc.

Up until this point it was mostly that they would gladly fuck the other countries up but treated their own people way better than the other camp. But this difference is disappearing.

Of course there is always North Korea and other totally fucked up regimes they could use to compare and look white and fluffy

Iran used machine guns in protesters

China used tanks against students

Russia still has gulags for people who criticise the government

You’re incredibly naive if you think they’re the same as us

'Moral ground' was the product of a controlled media environment.
