Les commentateurs de la guerre et de la paix se demandent souvent pourquoi la Russie et la Chine tolèrent que les États-Unis mènent autant d’activités terroristes, de guerres hybrides ou de changements de régime dans les pays du monde qui ne se soumettent pas aux règles occidentales. En ce qui concerne l’Ukraine, les critiques accusent la Russie de se battre avec la proverbiale «main dans le dos» au lieu de riposter durement contre les puissances occidentales qui sont réellement à l’origine des activités terroristes menées sur le sol russe par des agents ukrainiens mandatés.

During the previous regime, Sudan hosted Osama bin Laden, leader of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Carlos the Jackal. This warm embrace of violent extremists earned Sudan a spot on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.”— Areej Elhag, Washington Institute for Near East Policy, January 31, 2024.
