      Its so fucking horrible how Iraq got destroyed BECAUSE OF A LIE and the politicians and war criminals involved got off Scot free.

      They’ve still yet to see a penny from the US as reparations. And of course, there is no international support. Don’t forget the UK, Australia and Poland too (countless others on the war on terror in general, too)

      Al ghuraib, Haditha massacre, the countless other killings of civilians… Its senseless and brutal. But to the west, Arabs aren’t human enough for empathy I guess. (Unless they have oil, like the sauds)

      I’ll check blowback later,.thank you for the link.

        Blowback is done by campist cretins, fair warning.

                Oh so you recognize they actually know what they’re talking about.

                That’s a pretty bizarre extrapolation from me recognizing that they’re campist cretins.

                What camp are they “campist cretins” to then?

                Second-campist. Do you not know what ‘campist’ means?

                It’s laughable you think tweets are evidence

                Yes. How hilarious it is that I think their own words are evidence of their positions. Ha ha.

                and not like, their articles since they are both critically acclaimed journalists.

                So is Glenn fucking Greenwald, that doesn’t make him not a cretin.

                The tweets don’t back up your claim either.

                Oh, right, apologism for atrocities is only bad when it’s US atrocities.

                We’re in a thread about the casualties of the Iraq War and you’re trying to discredit the two journalists that have created the most accurate and complete telling about the Iraq War that actually recognizes the humanity of the Iraqi civilians bombed, tortured, and starved to death in some of the most inhumane ways imaginable by the US. Like, wtf.

                Have they considered not discrediting themselves by being genocide apologists for non-US atrocities, or is that too much ask?

                I apologize, in the future, I’ll be sure to paper over and cover up genocide apologism if the apologist sometimes agrees with me.

                    What exactly do you think there saying is apologia? You don’t show what Noah Kulwin is responding to, nor are his responses incorrect.

                    Ah yes, when performative leftists sudden become “fiscal conservatives” once the issue of resisting genocide comes up.

                    Well, the issue of resisting Russian or Chinese genocide, at least.

                    THEN the dollar value of lives becomes extremely important to campist cretins, for some reason.

                    Nor is Brendan James wrong about the American Method of the US State Department deflecting criticism about foreign policy.

                    “The US created/fueled/escalated the Ukrainian War!”

                    Fucking bootlicker.
