But he got upvotes on the internet, clearly he is right.

Humans are fucking doomed.

Confusing people agreeing with you and being right is how your shitty country wound up with people like Marjorie Taylor Space Laser as an elected official.

Normal civilized armies have rules of engagement.

Like if the US claims you have nuclear weapons and the UN says you have no evidence your war is illegal, you do it anyways. Murika Fuk Yah!

That whole war was a glorified terrorist attack in my eyes.

He makes several good points and your basically just vomitting buzzwords and copypasta.

If you read the article they blamed this attack on the excessive amount of money the US spends arming foreign countries to protect their interests.

I don’t normally believe this kind of propaganda and ultimately the US didn’t pull the trigger, they just wrote the check that facilatated the purchase of the weapons. Kind of a guns don’t kill people the people who buy guns for other people kill people type argument.

Any phrase, request or threat in the from of “do X or be subject to the rules” is inherently flawed.

Why not skip the asking part and go straight to the enforcing the rules part because they’re, you know; the fucking rules.

I generally don’t like the CBC, but I personally find their international political reporting top tier due to this kind of approach.

I’ll take standing under a mission accomplished banner on an aircraft carrier for $200.
