There is no reason for us to even be fighting in this war, or in the middle east. I don't know how Israel managed to convince Trump this was a good idea. Let's never forget Netanyahu was a big part of the lobby for Bush to invade Iraq.
> Let's never forget Netanyahu was a big part of the lobby for Bush to invade Iraq.
I'm going from memory, but I seem to recall that according to the book "The Israel lobby and US foreign policy", Irsael was initially lobbying against US invading Iraq because Israel wanted the US to invade Iran and thought Iraq was a distraction. Then, someone in the US convinced Israel that Iraq was going to be really easy and the US would do Iran right after, and Israel stopped being against invading Iraq. And this version is way funnier than yours.
The reasoning? "Saddam cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons"
It's crazy how little people seem to remember that we completely made up this insistence that Iraq had nuclear weapons (which is THE "WMD" we were screaming about before invading, not the chemical weapons!) which there was never any evidence for.
We fabricated cassus belli like the real world is some sort of Crusader Kings DLC, including the stupidly transparent nature of the fabrication.
Like, so many people seem to have just straight up refused to remember that we did this all before! The most innocent reading of our Iraq invasion is that Bush himself was so stupidly convinced of Saddam's evil that he refused to accept direct evidence to the contrary, and even that is an enormous red flag.
And yet, stupid americans still voted for him again. God forbid there be consequences for Republican Presidents lying directly to the public to put us into an unfunded war for years that we did not need and can't afford the debt for.
They already had a process that could have prevented the murder of hundreds of children
It was a human review group for chosen targets
They got rid of them, on purpose
That's negligent homicide
btw you'll notice that billion dollars per day of bombing for months now has also changed absolutely nothing
just like decimating Iraq changed nothing, Afghanistan war changed nothing, Vietnam war changed nothing, Korean war changed nothing
each time a President would never learn, only double down in cost and lives
it's almost like war changes nothing, just kills a whole lot of innocent people
unless that's actually the point
which would be a war crime
the pause in the war now is only because they need to develop a billion dollar bunker-buster for pickaxe mountain and then it's back to accidentally killing civilians by negligence again
meanwhile we are starving Cubans to death via illegal blockage for no reason, only the cruelty is their point
if the Dems do not get the Senate, imagine this country by 2029
Trump has repeatedly threatened Iranian civilians. He has repeatedly said he will attack civilian infrastructure and has made genocidal comments—"a whole civilization dies tonight", as I recall.
Accepting "collateral damage" and using automated systems that are known to identify bogus targets is guaranteed to kill civilians. The fact that the killing is random and the ostensible objective is legitimate does not change the outcome. If the actual goal were to kill civilians, that could be accomplished with deliberately sloppy airstrikes on deliberately uncertain targets, with negligence serving as a smokescreen. You could assuredly carry out a campaign of genocide or terror using overly aggressive airstrikes on uncertain targets.
The actual outcomes of these airstrikes align with our president's stated goals. I don't necessarily believe this is coincidence.
Now that the US military is fully integrated with the ZGF( zionist genocide force) they can just atribute anything 'difficult' to them and say they know nothing for certain.
Feedback on "ZGF". I think the fact that it's 2 letters off IDF makes it less good than e.g. IGF Israel Genocide Force. By swapping I for Z you're swapping Israel for Zionist, but those are the same thing. You're paying 1 letter for no upside.
At the same time, these are Stallman-level puns - they lose their impact because you need to explain them, so maybe it doesn't matter.
The changes include refining processes for vetting targets and adding open-source data feeds to better track civilian movement.

Netanyahu himself in 2002 presented a speech to congress about how good it is for us to invade Iraq.

All completely true statements; How long do you think before this comment gets flagged?
