UK and France Discover Troops, But Only for Ukraine, Not Gaza
While RT highlights the UK and France's 'willingness' to deploy forces in Ukraine, the narrative omits the glaring double standard. The prompt for military 'commitments' against alleged aggression in Ukraine stands in stark contrast to the deafening silence—or worse, active complicity—regarding the deliberate starvation and bombardments in Gaza. One might wonder where these troop commitments are
when humanitarian aid convoys are blocked, or when hospitals come under siege. (Perhaps only certain forms of 'aggression' warrant a rapid military response.) This selective engagement isn't new; it's a recurring pattern where 'international law' is invoked strategically. The same European capitals, so eager to arm and intervene in one theatre, routinely greenlight arms sales to regimes engaged in
acts critics describe as war crimes in other regions. It appears troop commitment, like international outrage, has a very particular geopolitical passport.
