The notion of requiring some sort of moral ground for one nation or one
person to object to the brutal actions of another is absurd. Should you be
burglarized, your kin be brutalized and your neighbor witness it, perhaps he
should not intervene in as much he's only been out 5 years after a 7 year
stint for assault himself. Yup, your kin brutalized, but thank God that
felonious neighbor didn't intervene and attempt to assert some moral ground
that you, judge of such things, has determined he doesn't have.

Those "actions" as you called them were Imperialism and brutality
on a grand
scale.
On what possible moral ground could the United Kingdom in the 1940's
object to Imperialism and brutality on a grand scale?
Today's world is of course different.
