Interesting

If Russia starts firing their own propagandists this thread will get pretty quiet

@cake was accused of that earlier, and I responded to the accusation:

If it were only true, just said, doesn’t support NATO. clearly pro-russian Kremlin agenda.

@cake is just antiwar. He was antiwar considerably before this war broke out.

@cake doesn’t like war. He has a long history of posting antiwar opinions on this board:

The sad thing is you try to paint a pretty picture that the US is a utopia with clean hands. Why can’t you admit that your government has committed murder for their own interests. I am British I can admit our government has dropped depleted uranium on Iraq and has resulted in deformed babies and countless deaths. I can admit that churchill dropped bombs on Dresden in WW2 for one purpose to murder hundreds of thousands of people. I can admit that in Northern Ireland the UK had a shoot to kill policy, I could go on and on.

Why is it so hard for you? Are you living in complete denial. Do you have no regard for any murder committed by your government? Is life so cheap for you? Or are Cambodians, Kurds, Afghans, etc in your eyes, unpeople? Do you actually believe the fantasy that wars are fought for peace?

It would be great to see justice done and the likes of Tommy franks sent down for war crimes:

US troops ‘encouraged’ Iraqi looters

The patsy’s video is perfect timing for Bush I would say. The war mongers would have been rubbing their hands with glee. “Look he is still out there, we need more soldiers [cannon fodder] for the war on [some] terror.”
The dick cheneys of the world don’t want this to end. They don’t want peace. Especially when they are getting kickbacks from the madness.

The people in Iraq killing the most people are foreigners. And they aren’t some fake devils whose so called leader died a couple of years ago, but the white house sponsered media likes us to believe he’s alive and well.

The foreigners doing the most killing are Americans.

The Post even described how the Pentagon had concocted fake Al-Zarqawi letters boasting about suicide attacks and leaked them to Dexter Filkins of the New York Times, who splashed it on the front page the next day. Despite the fact that Filkins had severe doubts about the authenticity of the letter, the Times got down on their knees, licked boots, and published it anyway.

He basically outlived his usefulness. Expect a new devil to appear sometime soon.

Indonesia soon achieved complete control over East Timor, with the help of the American arms and other military aid, as well as diplomatic support at the UN. Amnesty International estimated that by 1989, Indonesian troops had killed 200,000 people out of a population of between 600,000 and 700,000, a death rate which is probably one of the highest in the entire history of wars.

If anyone thinks Obama is going to reverse what Bush has done - smell the salt.

Will illegal wiretaps be eradicated? - ha ha. He’ll repeal the patriot act? Get a grip. The phoney drug war is going to end? etc etc

The new CEO has been put in. He is a politician, it is guaranteed 100% he will drop bombs on innocent people for corporate interests.

He will do things that benefit his backers, NEVER the people.

Haven’t people woken up to this charlatan yet?

A Nobel Peace prize was given to war criminal Kissinger (who helped East Timor lose a third of its population).

Days into Obama’s administration, Obama was dropping bombs on weddings in Pakistan.

Peace indeed.

The usual script ensues.

Libya will become a basket case. From having free healthcare and education and being one of the best places to live in Africa (literacy rate of 88%, UN human development indicator puts it at 53 in the world, above Brazil and Ukraine) it will fall to its knees.
The corporations/banksters as always will welcome it. Everything will be broken up for the market and the Libyans will own virtually nothing.

Saddam had no intention of ever going into SA. This was nonsense spewed by Bush and the pro war media. Like the babies in incubators bullshit they lied about.
Kuwait was seen to Iraq as part of their country before the UK decided to make a new country. And the Kuwaitis were taking oil from Iraq. After getting what was perceived by Saddam as a green light from the US (he fell right into it) he invaded.

This looks like it is going to happen.
It really is mission accomplished and a success. Iraq is no longer a threat to Israel and the Saudi backers of Islamic nut jobs. Billions were made by the likes of Halliburton for contracts that were never completed. Shareholders rubbed their hands together with glee at the returns.
However the Islamic nut jobs are something that probably wasn’t planned (or the severity of them) and has caused even deeper issues.
Like Libya with their own Islamic nut case factions, Iraq is a basket case and thus, the war was a success.

And Hillary Clinton looks like a conservative. And has for many years; going back to at least the 1980s, while the wife of the Arkansas governor, when she strongly supported the death-squad torturers known as the Contras, who were the empire’s proxy army in Nicaragua.

If Taiwan didn’t spend all that money on American arms sales (or companies affiliated to (lobbyists in) the Military Industrial Complex), the USA would be less inclined to defend them.

Those criticizing Trump here and AOC (laughable again as she critiqued him for having troops there recently), were you supporters of Bush and Obama blowing to shit out of countries for regime change where the ramifications are still reverberating and will be for decades to come.
The only reason there were US troops there was to prevent Syria occupying parts of its own country.
The goal of the likes of Lindsey Graham, Obama, Clinton et al was to turn Syria into a non-functioning state to allow regime change which would turn it into another 10 year civil war.
And note those criticizing Trump give a pass to Turkey.
