Hacker news is just not that pro west. I actually find it quite refreshing.


Since when does it take a pro-Western stance to condemn a war, terrible atrocities and genocides? What, non-Westerners lack a moral compass or compassion?


>Since when does it take a pro-Western stance to condemn a war

It takes a pro-Western stance to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine under false pretense but celebrate America invading Iraq under false pretenses (a war in which literally hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were killed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War).


Terrible straw-man. No one in here is celebrating the invasion of Iraq.


Except no one is doing that other than you and people who want to change the topic to America even though America has nothing to do with the topic.

Sure if there was an article talking about what a great job the US is doing with foreign policy it's fair game to bring up times when the US had bad foreign policy.


Just like how the Vietnam troops were celebrated when they came home? (they weren't celebrated they were shunned) https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-...


Who is celebrating the Iraq war?
