Swallowing a Bitter Pill vs Intervention
There are circumstances in life when people, and even nations must accept what they otherwise would prefer to avoid. For example, after the USA had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan's emperor Hirohito told his people that they had to endure the unendurable and tolerate the intolerable, the unconditional surrender and the occupation of Japan by enemy forces after approx. four years of furiously battling an enemy that they detested. For such a proud people as the Japanese, that must have been very bitter pill to swallow, but it was necessary if they were to avoid any further needless loss of life via the dropping of more atomic bombs on Japanese cities. .
Ironically, today, the mighty USA likewise finds itself in a very similar situation. Just as in the case of Japan, the situation demands the swallowing of a very bitter pill. Of doing something that is culturally alien to the American values. Of having to watch human rights being violated by Russians dictator Putin, as he criminally orders attacks on civilians in the Ukraine and to be unable to intervene as it has done very often before.
Yes, the USA does have a reputation for holding lawless people such as Putin responsible. For example, Panama's Manuel Noriega, who was guilty of drug trafficking crimes and even of the horrendously cruel murder of political opponents, was arrested by the USA military, and transported transported to the USA to stand trial. Was ultimately sentenced there to a prison term.
Sadam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator, who was guilty of war crimes against civilians by the use of toxic gasses, was hunted down by the USA military, arrested, placed on trial, and was finally tried found guilty executed by a USA court of law.
Then there was the Saudi Arabian billionaire Bin Laden, who was associated with the terrorist group known as the Taliban and who was strongly suspected as being involved in the masterminding of Twin-Tower attack of 9/11, was also inexorably hunted and was finally assassinated by a USA military force that had entered Pakistan.
But much more recently, under President Trump, in the Iraq, a very prominent Iranian general who had been heavily involved in military action against IUSA occupation troops in Iraq, was executed by USA military forces for what the USA considered crimes.
So the USA does intervene in such matters whenever it deems it possible. However, the present situation is definitely not as simple as all these others just mentioned. In fact, it is very far different. You see, in the case of Russian President Putin, USA troops can't just easily Waltz into Russia as they waltzed into Panama, and Iraq and Pakistan in order to execute justice. In this case that would be suicide. But worse yet, such an intervention attempt has the potential of starting WWIII, a war which sane people want to avoid at all costs for fear that it might lead to the self-inflicted extinction of mankind.
So although the present situation is certainly is a bitter pill to swallow, swallowing it might be the only sane thing to do in view of the horrendous sequence of events that the alternative options might precipitate.
