I was railing against my R friends that equated the Iraq war as stoping Muslims and defending Christianity. I wanted Bush to be charged along with Cheney that was clearly compromised from his Halliburton stocks.


How edgy of you, let me guess, are you also against world hunger? What about murder? Are you pro or anti murder?

So several degrees less than the scrutiny. No labeling troops as orcs or calling for stopping genocide.

I don't say this to question your pro-anti war stance now or before, frankly I don't care. But it's evident that the level of scrutiny we're applying to this current situation is magnitudes less favorable to when we were doing something similar many years ago. We labeled our troops as heroes, honored them at ball games, etc. meanwhile the same man, same soldier that was sent to a foreign land to invade for a similarly shit reason just like ours is labeled an orc and is committing genocide.

Reality most wars are morally grey, there are no objectively good guys vast majority of time. Honestly very few wars in history you can say with certainty were fought between forces of good and bad. What this is, is a geopolitical conflict, and obviously on our side a certain framing of the enemy will be adopted. But it's important to have an honest take, that's if we truly care for equity in rules.

No you don’t know me or can’t speculate how much I hate our fill flop stance on the war in the ME or now. To be honest it really doesn’t matter. Government bombing of non military targets for political/monetary gain is morally bankrupt and should be condemned at all times. If somebody attacks your county chop their heads off with a dull knife. Aggression on mass scale isn’t acceptable. /end

Should be condemned at all times, just when we do it the condemnation is a small passing throw away comment, nothing else and moving on and when geopolitical enemy does it, they are literal sub-human orcs committing mass genocide so we must fund and perpetuate the war against them with hundreds of billions.

How many examples of French army killing innocent civilians would you like to accept reality?
For example I'm sure this is just hack cherry pick as the French have totally not killed and plundered large swaths of Africa for literal centuries.

Your brilliant ass cherry pickup examples are the definitive proof we should let Russia to continue what it did in Bucha for sure...

Don't know why you feel the need to discuss something you obviously have not taken any time to learn about.

My insight was that you have no idea what you are talking about, and you are welcome, please try and work on that before embarrassing yourself in the future :)
