> In geopolitics there are no morals, so it is also completely OK that we took a U-turn from all that a while later. The only interest is self-interest.

> My point is, a lot of these political positions are simply projections cast in order to achieve a certain goal, meaning to look at it from a moral standpoint is useless.

Claims like this can easily be used justify Nazism (which is alarmingly prescient considering the direction India's been going in recent decades)

I agree that many people use disingenuous moral outrage as a way to drive some political outcome, but many people with moral outrage are coming from a place of sincerity in reaction to the moral bankruptcy demonstrated by the world's leading powers.

This practice of assigning the same label to two things with absolutely no similarity is how words like Nazism lose all meaning. The reason folks like you do this is to try to forcefully elicit the same emotional response one would have to the original situation in Germany, and make any rebuttal sound like a rebuttal against that.

Let's end this discussion here. Not interested in engaging with someone this disingenuous.
