So, a retired British judge came out with a report saying Putin probably approved the death by radioactive tea of ex-Russian spy Litvinenko. Which means “almost certainly.”
And there is much brouhah.
And I yawn.
Because the difference between killing Litvinenko and the American drone assassination program under Bush and Obama, is that Bush, and especially Obama, have assassinated a LOT more people than Putin has.
No one with sense can take these arguments seriously any more. You cannot claim anything but tribal identity politics when your argument is, “Don’t do what we do.”
Hypocrisy doesn’t even cover it.
A good world requires that we don’t do things that are wrong, even if we think there is some short term advantage to it. Certainly Putin was wrong, but “killing less people is better than killing more.”
Okay?
