Double Standards in International Affairs

The article criticizes the hypocritical stance adopted by certain international powers regarding significant geopolitical issues. Specifically, it refers to the contrast between the condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the reserved attitude towards actions by the US, such as the alleged abduction of Nicolás Maduro. The author argues that there are no "good" or "bad" invasions and that international law must be applied uniformly in all cases. Furthermore, it criticizes the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, for allegedly justifying US actions and questions whether he has considered Turkish arguments for the invasion of Cyprus. The article concludes with the need for a more consistent and honest approach to international issues.
