>I simply voiced my opinion, which was simply correctly pointing out that the USA have become a problem for global peace.

>I protested against USA war in Iraq 1

So you were OK with Saddam's troops invading Kuwait and raping the women there?

>against USA bombing Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

So you were OK with Serbian genocide under Milosevic?

>But I don't feel like I worked for peace

Basically, you're in favor of Russian-style or Nazi-style "peace": "if we invade you and murder you all, don't resist, because that's warlike!"



classic American fear mongering.

Just one question: in USA okay with Iran repression or Putin invasion? they are not bombing there.

Do they like Talibans given they gave them back Afghanistan leaving behind vehicles and weapons, including fighter jets?

Do they agree with Saudi Princes killing journalists? because Bin Salman is still on the throne and USA still sell him billions in weapons every year.

> Basically, you're in favor of Russian-style or Nazi-style "peace"

Classic American , see a problem, take out the gun.

Now tell me again the story of Bush administration fabricated evidence to bomb Iraq.

I love it.

p.s. I live nearby former Yugoslavia, I have many friends there, nobody supported Milosevic here in Europe, many of us have witnessed the horrors of the war and the consequences of the American bombs, but he was such a threat that when they arrested him (because it wasn't so hard to find him) they couldn't charge him with anything substantial and he "died" of "natural causes" in prison.

That's justice according to US: first thing bomb civilians, then we'll think of something.

"The Trial Chamber of the Karadzic case found, at paragraph 3460, page 1303, of the Trial Judgement, that 'there was no sufficient evidence presented in this case to find that Slobodan Milosevic agreed with the common plan' [to create territories ethnically cleansed of non-Serbs]. The Trial Chamber found earlier in the same paragraph that 'Milosevic provided assistance in the form of personnel, provisions and arms to Bosnian Serbs during the conflict'."

Milosevic did it, but USA was unable to prove it, they already had what they wanted, a fruitful war, the trial, the real justice, don't sparkle their attention.

The America of Robert H. Jackson has long gone.

So, please, keep you bed stories for people who don't know better, spare me the propaganda. I'm too old for that sht.

Who's the real Nazi?

Because I think I saw actual Nazis walking around with swastika flags on American soil and nobody stopped or arrested them. They said it's freedom of expression. Then they assaulted Capital Hill, fomented by the POTUS, but it's OK, it's democracy at work I guess.

I also remember very well that only one country after world war 2 gave a medal to a Nazi, that place is the United States of A, the Nazi was called Wehrner von Braun.

I also remember very well operation Condor, Allende forced to commit suicide and Pinochet (a Franchist who loved Mussolini and praised Hitler) getting to power thanks to the US support.

Who armed the talibans in the 80s, to "use" them against USSR?

A spin off of that operation took the name Bin Laden, armed and trained in CIA camps in Pakistan.

Who armed Saddam in the 80s, to "use" him against Iran?

Because wars by proxy are much better, right?

If you create a new enemy every now and then, you can keep selling weapons and keep financing your military industry with hundreds of billions of dollars, the highest expenditure in the World, more than the rest of the World combined.

And do you know why they like bombing so much?

Because they don't want to risk their soldiers lives, it isn't important enough for them, soldiers lives that they lost anyway, there is no American veteran that went back home and had a good life after deployment. Not a single one.

During the Afghan campaign sadly more than 22 veterans a day die from suicide and two serving military service members per day die by their own hands. [...] combat fatalities are less than 8,000, while more than 30,000 veterans and service members have taken their own lives.*

Cannon fodder. I'll ask again, who's the real nazi?

So now they use drones, that already killed thousands of civilians and hundreds of children (conservative estimates), because you know, if you are in the US you don't see them coming to your country mutilated. And if they do, they call them terrorists or keep them for decades in Guantanamo, with no charge whatsoever, deprived of every human right.

USA is a problem, not the solution.


Classic whataboutism and pure idiocy.

>in USA okay with Iran repression or Putin invasion? they are not bombing there.

They aren't bombing Russia because that could start a nuclear war. Are you seriously that stupid to not understand this? This one really beggars belief.

They aren't bombing Iran because it's just too difficult a target; trying to subdue and set up better governments in Afghanistan and Iraq was bad enough, and in Afghanistan it was a failure. Iran is a much more powerful country; the losses aren't worth it.

>Do they like Talibans given they gave them back Afghanistan leaving there all their weapons, including fighter jets?

Wow, more utter stupidity. No working fighter jets were left behind. Even if they did, the Taliban wouldn't know how to fly them. They don't like the Taliban; they simply gave up because resisting them was costing too much and the Afghan people and government weren't taking care of the problem themselves.

>p.s. I live nearby former Yugoslavia, I have many friends there, nobody supported Milosevic here in Europe

More stupidity. Who do you think committed all those atrocities? Obviously, a lot of Serbians supported Milosevic.

>USA is a problem, not the solution.

So what exactly is your solution, genius? Let warlords do what they want?


You’re not going to convince someone of your point of view by being so incredibly rude and calling them stupid.


> Classic whataboutism and pure idiocy.

Or maybe I come from a Country where these kinds of things happened.

Not all of us here are 20-something, some of us are old enough to remember what really happened.

> They aren't bombing Russia because that could start a nuclear war

Remind me which Country is the only one to have dropped two atomic bombs on innocent civilians...

> No working fighter jets were left behind > Even if they did, the Taliban wouldn't know how to fly them

Aircraft worth $923.3 million remained in Afghanistan. The US left 78 aircraft procured for the government of Afghanistan at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul before the end of the withdrawal. These aircraft were demilitarized and rendered inoperable before the US military left, the report states

They are still valuable assets.

But is that really all?

Apparently not

https://www.voanews.com/a/pentagon-downplays-7-billion-in-us...

I wonder what a terrorist organization can do with billions worth of weapons, even if half working...

Thanks God the US fought "the war on terror"... (it would be hilarious, if it wasn't tragic)

Give 'em a few years and they will find a way to use them, like they did last time when you armed them against USSR and then they used those same weapons to take control of the country and even kick the American asses out of Afghanistan.

Americans literally ran away leaving afghan people to die

Afghans are paying for the idiocy of Americans that went to look for Bin Laden where he was not, knowing he wasn't there, only because Dick Cheney is a dick.

The Afghan opposition to talibans is now left alone and against a powerful enemy, with lots of weapons and money, left behind by the invaders.

Thanks 'mmmmurica

> So what exactly is your solution, genius?

The solution is unfolding on its own.

America is retreating, their culture has become toxic, their companies are considered dangerous for the economy and for the rights of workers, they cannot even give free healthcare to all their citizens, despite being the richest country in the World.

Culturally they have become irrelevant, they can only produce shitty superhero movies, socially the nation is on the brink of a civil war.

The golden age is long gone.

USA are already dead, they just don't know it yet.

Nobody even fears them anymore, not Putin that nowadays controls a poor Country that isn't even probably able to launch a real war against anybody, they don't have the money, the means and the skills. USA have been beaten even by talibans, a tribe of shepherds of sheep with no training in combat. In Iran they are laughing at USA announced sanctions, they can't harm them more than they already did.

Recently Turkey Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu rejected the condolences the U.S. offered following a deadly attack in Istanbul and accused Washington of complicity saying that "it like the murderer arriving as one of the first at the scene of the crime."

Bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, ordered the execution of the journalist Jamal Kashoggi who "was ambushed and strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi assassins. His body was dismembered and disposed of."

USA have declared not more than a few days ago that Bin Salman cannot be prosecuted, because he's the king.

Do you think that the fact that he buys every year billions in weapons from USA influenced the decision?

https://i.insider.com/5ab1652118d8521c008b45d9?width=1000&fo...

Nobody respects the US authority anymore, because they showed over and over that their high moral ground was only a facade.

Because we don't forget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Ab...

Why should we listen to what they have to say?

If the CCP decide to cut the supply of components, they don't have the strength to react.

They know very well they have to, that's why they are on retreat.

They are in the same situation the western Roman Empire was between 410 and 476 AD.
