You would have thought folks would have learned from the Iraq War that the US lies. I'm no fan of Khomeini's sabre-rattling, but if people are really buying into the narrative that we did this because they had nukes, idk what to tell you besides go read your history.
- _heimdall 1y agoIt isn't just the US that lies, its politicians and leaders. People in charge want to keep power, and the only ones willing to fight their way to the top don't deserve the power of office.
- verisimi 1y agoFolks do know. Folks knew before the Iraq war too. But what does this generic knowledge have to do with anything, when the military action is already decided for geo-political reasons? The only decision to make is what pretext to use. In a way, the 'iraq wmd' justification has proven it's value as a pretext - so why not tweak it and use it again?
