So why did you call out Israel, the US, and Russia and not the others?

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, I'm just curious as to what makes them special. There are many other nations involved in larger-scale conflicts right now. There are many others that have been involved in more conflicts globally historically. Many that have and do oppress and murder on a regular basis. I will say the US and Russia do get involved too much in outside conflicts, but Israel's ongoing conflict is paralleled in many other nations right now.



Because I said historically and some nations have been forced to counter invasion or other form of repression to become an independent nation.

I actually did not call out any country. I just included US and Russia as examples of more known countries that have started recent more known military conflicts.

My motivation was to point out that "insatiable appetite for war and killing" is by itself nothing more than a political statement.
