Politicians when they were asked much earlier (last year?) about unprovoked Israeli attacks on Iran:
"Does Israel have a right to defend itself?"
"Yes"
"Does every country have a right to defend themselves?"
"Yes"
"Does Iran have a right to defend itself?"
"This is a very complex issue, and Israel has a right to defend itself"
If I were from the global South I'd pretend Western countries don't even exist and just work with China, which I'm glad to say it looks like Africa is doing just that. Africa has had some awesome leaders honestly (who France and America are desperately trying to overthrow).
