The actual root of all evil in the world is the perception of immunity from blowback/consequences for evil. History starts on 9/11 and 10/7 or start of Russia special operation because "they hate us for our freedom" is the propaganda line instead of blowback for previous evil, and extermination is the only solution for the propaganda motive.

The propaganda control and security protections to commit evil, means far more evil than "equalizers" whether its violence, or media coverage exposing the evil, or popular politicians demanding structural improvements that would punish evil. That media/politics side with US empire/oligarchy evil is the democratic failure that ensures evil, and condemns blowback against evil, as an opportunity to support more of it.

Two of these things are not like the other. The start of the Russian SMO would be in 2014 when they illegally annexed Crimea without provocation. The Ukrainian government had bent over backwards for Russia, and continued to do so until Feb of 2022 when Russia attacked them again. Again, without provocation.

The US and Israel just got FAFO on the days you mentioned.
