How is it not? Do the Solomon Islands have the right to house Chinese troops or not?
Is Canada (theoretically) allowed to? Cause that´s the equivalent to Ukraine and Russia.

Western nations have been butting in to other countries since... Well, the days of "New Spain" and such.
But hey, that wasn't an "invasion," it was an "improvement."

Because of the Islands very close proximity to Australia they should have fallen in line with Australia. Problem is that the greedy government of Australia has been cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Islands in the past few years. Naturally if China makes a better offer the Islands would be foolish not to take it. But the Islands are so very close to Australia, so really the blame should go to the Australian government for not staying best pals with the Islands in the first place. And really the US is to blame too; the US should have seen this coming and made sure Australia made the better offer to the Islands. Now that the Islands has committed to a deal with China it is probably too late for Australia to just start offering cash prizes again to get it back.
You can bet your ass the US would stop Canada violently, seeing how they are even interested in the Solomon f*cking islands.

hypocritical - behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case.
I do not think that the west is hypocritical. That would require the pretense of standards. When lying and disinformation is the name of the game, you'd be a schmuck to believe the whole "we've got standards" shtick to be anything other than a blatant lie. Nobody is pretending to tell the truth anymore.

Of course I know, they would kick them out of NATO and embargo them, just like Cuba. But the world would still laugh at America for allowing such a thing to happen in the first place. And the US would deserve it.
It could theoretically happen if China overtakes the US as the economic superpower and offers Canada a better deal (just as the EU offered Ukraine a deal in 2014).
I'm not saying if it can or cannot happen. I'm just saying everyone knows how the US would react, we seen how they reacted to Cuba. And the world would laugh at America if it did happen to them with Canada.
Hmm mass-murdering facists (with a communist sigel) that have no problems causing problem for the world if they want. Yeah I don't want them as my neighbor either...
America doesn't have a communist sigil unless you are referring to the SDG icon.
Saudi Arabia for 2 decades used weapons bought from USA and committed massacre in Yemen which is x10 times worse than Ukraine today, yet we see almost no reports or condanment about human rights from any west world.
As soon as all oil from Meddle East are paid with US dollar and they are considered US allies, so we all just give shit.
