Reply to comment by No_Sense_6171 in UK says Russia set to give Iran military tech that will destabilize Middle East by nahalkishon

Although resource motivated politics is still very much alive, I think we've moved on from the cold war style animosity of the mid 1900's.

It's certainly unfair to equate modern British policies to those enacted over half a century ago.

Na mate on WorldNews, every country has to think and act the same way it did 73+ years ago otherwise it doesn't count.

"America sold weapons to the USSR in 1942? well they can't say anything when Russia attacks their neighbour then can they."

"France Surrendered to the Nazi's in 1940? well it's pretty hypocritical for them to have antifascist rallies then isn't it!"

"Uk provides intelligence to the international community about Russia destabilising the middle east? bit cringe."

I've seen so many of these brain-dead takes on here specifically whenever the war is mentioned I just assume it's 'Russian Whataboutism' in action.
