When Germany remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936 France turned tail and ran rather than living up to it's obligations under the Versailles Treaty. The best part of 100 million people died as a result of that decision. People who are ignorant of that sort of history or choose to ignore it have no basis for understanding how conflicts evolve into warfare.
What did NATO do when Milošević waged ethnic warfare? Nothing at all until most of the damage had already been done. All the West cared about was breaking up Yugoslavia, and mitigation of conflict didn't serve that end. Millions of people suffered horribly as a result. Once the dust had settled the Clinton administration swooped in to "save the day" and send Milošević to the Hague. That's how much moral authority the West has -- none at all.
Pseudo-moralists like aussie form conclusions based on propaganda that appeals to emotion and is devoid of historical context. She thinks anyone who doesn't agree with her warped worldview is equivalent to a holocaust denier, which is a logical falacy: if not white, then black, because context is heretical to those who choose not to understand. Politics is indistinguishable from religion fundamentally. Dogma cannot be discussed rationally because it is sancrosanct. Beliefs constitute facts and nonbelievers must be cancelled, because believers have no rational ability to support their worldview.
