Why?

Why?

I make no judgements. 
I only ask "why?"
Why does Russia have to give back the Crimea?
Why does Israel get to keep the West Bank and Golan Heights?
Why can Turkey keep its puppet government in Cyprus?
Why is it ok for the US to arm rebel groups in Syria?
Why are the Russians bad for arming rebel groups in Ukraine?
Why do Russian bombs deliberately kill civilians?
Why do American bombs only accidentally kill civilians?
Why were Islamists freedom fighters against the Russians in Afghanistan?
Why are Islamists terrorist fighters against the Americans in Afghanistan?
Why are Russia and China always wrong to veto US proposals in the UN?
Why is the US always right to veto Russian and Chinese proposals in the UN?
Why are US and NATO invasions of other countries peace keeping missions?
Why are Russian invasions or interferences in other countries acts of aggression? 
Why is it ok for the US to hack and spy on the whole world?
Why is it outrageous for Russia to hack and spy on the US?
Why is the US a democracy when most of the voters voted against Trump?
Why is Russia a dictatorship when most of the voters voted for Putin?
Why is Saudi Arabia part of the "free world" and Iran isn't.
Why are US naval ships off the coasts of Russia defending freedom of navigation?
Why are Russian naval ships off the coasts of the US provocations?
Why is it ok for Israel to develop nuclear weapons on its own?
Why is it not ok for North Korea to develop nuclear weapons on its own?
Why is the US the greatest country in the world instead of the Netherlands?

Why can't we agree on the answers to these questions?
