If you're afraid of p!ssing off your military partner when it comes to quite simple right and wrong ... then they aren't your military partner, you are the slave, they are the master.
US killed millions of Iraqis and Afghans, yet Europeans still support the US, is it because Europeans are slaves and the US is master or is it because brown lives are worth less than white lives?
To stay on point ... a good partnership depends on shared values, which may (and probably should) extend to similarities in what is viewed as right and wrong.
If you cannot agree on that, or negotiate and compromise on that right or wrong, or influence your partner when you think things are going wrong, then ... it's not a partnership.
To stay on point by your own definition is there a slave master partnership between Europe and US because US kept killing millions of Iraqis and Afghans and Europe also shares those values or does Europe not share those values yet still keep partnering with US because they need US protection against Russia?
