Look it up yourself.

You're citing it in an argument. It's apparently too much of an effort to look it up yourself, so you expect me to do your work for you?

I mean, of course, it's complete nonsense. You're just still sipping the Bush Kool Aid, more than anyone.

They knew they had WMDs because the US sold them to Iraq. 🙄

And they were destroyed soon after the first Iraq War. Speaking of which, I thought you were such great humanitarians, and that you try to avoid civilian casualties. But you sell WMDs to Iraq so it can use them on civilian targets and even "his own people"?

Didn't you just say the opposite about Iran? Isn't the argument for "returning Iran's "own money"" that The Shaw exploited the people of Iran for his personal wealth? Therefore his wealth actually belongs to the people/state? Even moreso for the Tsars.

I think I clearly pointed out that I was not talking about any 1979 seizures, but the more recent ones. That's the money that Obama returned by unfreezing bank assets, right?

Later you say it was their money "from oil sales" which were illegal under international embargos

Is it? I assume you're going to tell me to LOOK IT UP YOURSELF here as well. So I'll just laugh at the fact that you try to invoke international law while defending the war in Iraq.

All they gave me was a link to the thread involved, with ~100+ comments. I figured out which was my offending comment from the deleted ones, and remembered I had replied with a joke to another comment which was also deleted. :/ The appeals just got the same form message, no word on what I had said that violated the rules.

There have been people who didn't even get that. Only "violations of policy as a user and a moderator".

I make an illegal right turn, you went 100 mph through a school zone at lunchtime... SAME THING! 😸 So yes.

Rather, "you went 100 mph through a school zone JUST LIKE ME but you did it once more!"

Of course, that's not even true, but just your vapid claim. If you look at the number of regime changes and coups that your beloved deep state neocons have sponsored, it's quite a bit more than those dreaded Eye-Ran-Ians.

I say I condemn it

You do? I sure didn't notice, but props if you do anyway.

Israel has excessive "cause bellum" to bomb Syria or Iran! Assad had a chemical weapons program (fact) & Israel blew it to hell (fact) despite Russia having given Assad advanced air defenses (fact). Assad regularly launched missiles into Israel, supported terrorist groups & allowed weapon shipments to those groups.

This looks like an AI hallucination. If it's not, please think your claims through before posting it. It's not illegal for Syria to have had a chemical weapons program, nor did Israel blow it up - but the bombings of Syria were an act of illegal aggression under international law which your deep state friends habitually violate, even while you hide behind it when you think it can provide you cover.

Is there a single deep state war / act of aggression that you DON'T support?

You are also talking about it's proxy-armies too. It's like only talking about 3 of an octopus's arms & pretending the other 5 don't exist. Octopuses don't have 3 arms, ok? They have 8.

I thought you defended proxy armies as "revolutionaries" when it suits the deep state thugs.

If 5 of them are strangling me, you point to the 3 that aren't and say "that octopus isn't harming you, these 3 arms are totally innocent! Leave the poor octopus alone!" 🙄

So wait, people have the right to strike back at the US for sponsoring proxy armies? I agree. Too bad the only way to do that is to develop nuclear weapons.
