How come US can pre-emptive strike Iraq purely based on WMD suspicion & no one complains?

[MatrixFanatic]

cos they have the most powerful propaganda machine in the world.. so people look at them as good guys who can do no wrong. when they speak, we listen

They reinvented propaganda as 'public relations', that says it all!

 

[Shion]

till today, nothing has been found.

Tony Blair misled the British parliament

 

[Grieffin]

no one complain meh?

i remember so many people asking wheres the WMDs

even got a few americans made documentaries against the war

not on the same scale as the ones bashing russia. no one even mention sanction not that anyone dares to lol

 

[snowblaze]

Just based on suspicion of WMD, US can pre-emptive attack Iraq, and end up cannot find any wmd.

But no one complains or make any noise.

waiting for someone brave like u to complain

Not defending US...I didn't agree with the war. But US did not hide the fact they were, they did not pretend is a "military ops", they tried to make their case in UN although it was manufactured/bad evidence, they officially declared war.

Both extremely bad but not the same.

If every time in a geo political situation occurs and can be justified if Country A can do that to country B in year xxxx, why can't county C do to country D in 21st century.

It is a recipe for disaster. How will humanity progress?

USA is the undisputed number ONE power and "bully'. Who dare to complain?

Russian is at best the disputed number two, power and bully. LOL

Remember the Cuba Missile crisis?
Cuba is a sovereign state just like Ukraine.
USA demand no hostile weapon at it door step.
Luckily Cuba compromised on the principle, othewise already hoot WW3.

Putin mistake was acting like a big bully, when he is not the biggest.

Don't even talk about Iraq. Just last year, as the US evacuate from Afghanistan, their army indiscriminately fired a missile at a senior Taliban member, who they blamed for an attack on Kabul airport. Killed him and 13 others.

Turned out wrong intel; he was just an innocent, unrelated guy. No war crime charge at the army officers involved. Just honest mistake and move on.

Don't fall for the US=good guy, Russia and China=bad guys myth. The best thing that they wipe out one another, leaving the world without any domineering power.

A small person still have not admit his mistake.

 

[myopenid]

Might is power to ensure no one will challenge it. This is the double standard set by the western democratic system. If chiu are with them then it is ok else not.

If apology for war crimes is enough, during Nuremburg trials the Nazis wouldn't have been hanged liao... Say sorry is very easy, chui gong ***** song nia. Ask him whether he willing to be tried for war crimes see he okay or notch.

Don't you realise what language we using here and most places internationally ?

That is why their karma is Kenna covid jia lak. Then soon will be stagflation

 

[erwinrommel]

No one wants to see war. Everybody is focused on the WMD lie by US, but glosses over what saddam Hussein has done earlier.

Halabja massacre on Kurds using chemical gas by chemical Ali, invasion and annexation of Kuwait, mass killing of Kuwaitis, rejected UN weapons inspection numerous times etc. ​

Please don’t make it sound like iraq and saddam Hussein were peace loving.

This one must ask our highly paid leaders. Maybe got to do with our national reserves.
