Can't blame him, they got his grandad in the siege of Leningrad after all. His great uncle was also neutralised by the RAF in the Battle of Britain so explains his burning hatred of the United Kingdom too

typical american children raised by left-wing extremist privileged pale people. most couldnt point out russia on a map much less moldova or ukraine. nothing new sadly

well stated my friend! also his not so distant descendants fell in dresden and berlin in 1945 as well

I agree with your point about weaponizing morality, but it should still be mentioned that the war in Yemen is primarily caused by the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the US only tacitly supporting the SA military operations and constantly urging them to hold back.
And this SA/Iran conflict has not only present-day geostrategic roots (who's the hegemonial power in the Gulf region?), but also religious ones. Essentially, this is a proxy war between Sunnis and Shiites, a religious conflict which has been going on for 1400 years.

Also, pretty much all of us agree that the war in Yemen is horrible and must be condemned. The moral case against this war is made, it's just that you don't hear about it all the time because nobody in the West gives a fuck about Yemen.

Btw i was definitely right regarding Iraq war 2 : 1 million deads easy (crushing majority being civilians).

That's a huge part, but Iran is and has been diametrically opposed to US interests since we tried to rule them with a puppet regime. Between Syria, Iraq, Arabian peninsula, we've pretty much been against them geopolitically for awhile now. The power struggle in Iraq as well as the Syrian civil war really showed that. Throw in the fact that they are the arch nemesis of both Israel and SA and couple that with the fact that SA is literally the number 1 US arms buyer in the world, and to me, we're not just reluctant supporters. A weaker Iran proxy in the region is 'good' for our geopolitical goals and that's why no one really talks or cares about it in the media.

It is what it is though, I get the geopolitics of it, and it's a necessary evil, especially now that we want the Arabs to save the day and pump as much oil as they can, but the double standards get hard to swallow sometimes.

We'd have invited you along but rumour has it you surrendered to the Iraqis beforehand

US and their little dog

By which you mean doing nothing to prevent it and actively supplying the weapons that allow it to happen.

odd he claims “he was right” on the iraq war but unquestionably supports the American political forces who voted for the war and profited off it
