Ideology is a false god.

Oh I quite agree with that. In the end only power matters, and that is what we're seeing in regards to Russia. The USA set a trap and Russia walked right into it. But just because a majority of people agree with something like sanctions, doesn't make it right or "legal". Only power does that, together with the propaganda to ensure everyone thinks the same.

I mean imagine we treated the US like we do Russia lol. Inconceivable because of money of course.
