It’s insane you think HN is the one changing positions and not you. There is a broad consensus across most of the developed world: UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Baltics, Poland, Italy, Canada.
You’re on the Russian perspective against all that and think HN is backsliding, not you?

The europeans who criticized the U.S. for playing world police to enforce borders in the middle east and asia now support the U.S. playing world police to enforce borders in europe. That’s self-interested hypocrisy, a very understandable form of hypocrisy.
I’m talking about Americans flip-flipping. From America’s point of view, there is no difference between Ukraine, Kuwait, Syria, Korea, or Vietnam. I think a decade ago, most people would be agreeing with me that we don’t need to be getting involved in regional conflicts in those places. Heck, overthrowing Saddam was arguably more materially in America’s interest than defending Ukraine, because America is highly affected by oil prices.
