Yup. I was just pointing out how there were no doubts in 2004 the Iraq War was illegal. Platner joined up after then-secretary Powell confessed the whole thing was a sham. It’s not like he joined up on September 12th. 2001, naively believing the US was a force for good. He joined when everyone knew what was being done to the Middle East was a crime.

Iraq. The entirety of Iraq was a war crime. Collin Powell even came out and said there were never weapons of mass destruction and they lied to the UN. He gave that interview with the Guardian early in 2004. Fallujah was in November later that year.
The US lied about WMDs and illegally invaded a country that had neither attacked them or an ally, nor was it at war with any other country. That’s a war crime and why Germany had the Treaty of Versailles placed on it for invading neutral Belgium.

11 monthslol @ that dork who can’t be bothered to read a few paragraphs on Tibet and does the “China bad!” unironically.


It’s orientalism. “Scary far-east Judeo-Bolshevik Asiatic hordes are coming for our women and our toothbrushes!” nonsense that occasionally gets embraced “ironically” by people playing into cartoon villainy. It’s especially gained popularity among liberals in the Democratic party as part of the whole Russiagate explanation for why they keep losing elections.
