It's cynicism about the clear hypocrisy of the situation.
It's the equivalent of your bully telling you to keep your lunch money safe while pointing at an other bully. It's a bit hard not to roll your eyes.
Hey, to be fair the bully who is warning you to keep your lunch money safe from the other bully is the currently the USA. Immediate wrongdoing will always have a place, even in the face of likely worse wrongdoing that is set to be in the future.
And one thing also, for the upper comment: Drone striking a whole people, changing the strike type every decade, and carrying out genocide over a prolonged time does not make mass killings any better than a hands-on approach. One produces more reaction, fucks up generations completely, assimilates or annihilates whole cultures, the other is a swift solution in service of a fucked-up ethos. Neither is favorable in comparison.
