Russia, the West, and the world. Whataboutism. Paul Robinson, a professor at the University of Ottawa. Roman Protasevitch, white russion opposition leader, telegram Nexta. Quote:
"the moral bubble deserves bursting, because the reality is that, with some notable historical exceptions, there are generally no good guys or bad guys in international affairs, no liberal democracies and no autocracies, just states pursuing their interests. In that regard, there are just two types – powerful states and not-powerful states – and as Thucydides put it, “The strong do as they will, and the weak suffer as they must.”
