Every civilization pursues its own interests, and the West should be transparent about acting in the interest of its own citizens rather than pretending to act for global justice.

“The West is pursuing its interest and if we want to stop being hypocritical, we should stop pretending that we're acting in the interest of global justice and say simply that we're acting in the interest of our own citizens, which is a perfectly legitimate thing to be doing.”

Western foreign policy is historically based on might-makes-right and economic coercion rather than established international laws.

“When we invaded Afghanistan and occupied it for 20 years, we weren't following any rules-based order. When we invaded Iraq and killed a million people, we weren't following any rules-based order. When we illegally invaded Libya, bombed the out of them, turned that state into a failed state with open”

The West cannot be relied on to promote global justice because it prioritizes its own interests over justice, often harming it in the process.

“no, we can't count on the West to promote global justice because the West has only ever promoted its own interests, often at the cost of global justice.”
