Nope.

Those questions are not tough for them at all. The propaganda has it covered and they will give some version of "we tried our gosh darned best to bring the savages freedom and democracy but their barbarian culture was simply too primitive".

Its pretty hard at this conjunction in time, they used to be able to get away justifying these interventions with the "stopping genocide" card, but they can't say that now that they're enabling Israel. The facade of virtuousness has fallen.

NATO wasn't involved in Iraq were they?

Not NATO, countries that just so happened to be members of NATO for completely unrelated reasons don’t even worry about it.

Bush desperately tried to tie saddam to al-qaeda so he could trigger article 5 by claiming 9/11 was an act of aggression. That didn't pan out but the empires most loyal dogs still went with the us on their massmurder campaign. See the "coalition of the willing"

That list of nations is very short.

Is certainly longer than Russia list, but they're the baddies right?

Never ask an EU supporter about why their own country doesn't get to decide things for its self
