Cynical Justifications for Intervention

Military interventions often arise from superficial justifications rather than genuine concern for the affected populations. The motivations behind actions such as the bombing of Libya stem from personal and political rivalries, rather than overarching humanitarian goals. History indicates that interventions can lead to long-term chaos and instability, driven by opportunistic narratives rather than substantive reasons. Instances such as the attempts to overthrow regimes in Syria and Ukraine highlight a pattern of acting on misleading premises that undermine international frameworks like the UN Security Council.
