A reading of wonderwench's statement only shows that she states real politics as the basis for both countries' decisions. Understanding how the world works is about understanding how and why history is a record of perceived national self interests.
I have no interest in morality whan it comes to nation states. I know others do. This reflects my own way of looking at the world. To me discussing morality in this context is useless.
