| Sep 8, 2022 at 3:44 | comment | added | Allure | @prosfilaes if you have never heard the word 'intervention' used this way, I suggest reading more. Here're some examples I got from Googling "Red Cross intervention": icrc.org/en/doc/resources/documents/article/other/57jr5y.htm, cambridge.org/core/journals/…, cqc.org.uk/location/1-276586608/contact | |
| Sep 7, 2022 at 16:22 | comment | added | prosfilaes | @Allure And "The governments who are the target of the funding certainly think so" makes part of my point; if this were a neutral word here, nobody would disagree on it. Phrasing it that way implies it's objectionable and undue. | |
| Sep 7, 2022 at 16:20 | comment | added | prosfilaes | @Allure I've never heard intervention used in something like that. Certainly, we aren't calling Red Cross assistance after a disaster an intervention. A personal intervention isn't telling someone "it might be better if you cut down on the weed"; it's dragging in the whole family in and sitting the user down. Intervention may be good or bad, but it's always forceful. | |
| Sep 7, 2022 at 4:02 | comment | added | Allure | @prosfilaes I don't see why that matters. On its own, the word 'intervention' carries no moral judgement. You could consider the intervention just (or reasonable, or unjust/unreasonable), which is when you impose your morals on the situation. Sometimes almost everyone will agree the intervention is reasonable - e.g. if a person is knocked down by a car, and you pull them off the road. But it's still intervention. It sounds like you are associating 'intervention' with negativity. | |
| Sep 7, 2022 at 3:17 | comment | added | prosfilaes | @Allure Let me rephrase them; if you consider the open funding of nonviolent groups to support the viewpoint of the funder "intervention", then intervention in and of itself is not something it's reasonable to object to. The word "intervention" is being used to hide the difference between sabotage, even murder, and simple communication. | |
| Sep 7, 2022 at 0:44 | comment | added | Allure | @prosfilaes that's a different question - "silly" is fundamentally different from "intervention". | |
| Sep 6, 2022 at 16:39 | comment | added | prosfilaes | @Allure Russia's been funding hackers and disinformation. Fussing about open funding of pro-democracy seems silly compared to assassinations and military funding for rebels carried out by both sides for a long time. | |
| Jun 23, 2022 at 5:02 | comment | added | Allure | @Jan The US has been funding pro-democracy movements for a long time. It's up to you if you want to call that "intervention". The governments who are the target of the funding certainly think so. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_revolution#Russian_assessment | |
| Feb 7, 2022 at 11:59 | comment | added | Jan | The Iraq case is rather different from the Libya and Syria cases. In the former, the country was at peace and the US and some of its allies waged an unprovoked war. In the latter two, internal conflicts had sprung up and at some point many if not all NATO nations decided to join the battle on one side. As for the 'overthrowal of pro-Russian governments in Georgia and Ukraine' - news from Georgia rarely makes national headlines here so I cannot say. In Ukraine, I recall that both the 2004 and the 2013 protest were, again, mostly an internal issue and I do not recall any western intervention. | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 14:20 | comment | added | David Rice | @Bregalad Just a point of contention, france isn't mocked as "surrenders" just because of their refusal to invade Iraq, it's a much longer-standing joke than just that. | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 11:17 | comment | added | Bregalad | Most of those "western-supported" things are actually supported by the US, not (actively) by western european countries. Actually, France is still today reguarly mocked as being "surrenders" by the US jsut because of their refusal to join in the invasion of Iraq. | |
