(1,463 posts)their biggest proxy. We are the most dangerous regime with the most dangerous weapons. We attacked a sovereign nation that didn't attack us. They were willing to go to the negotiating table just as Saddam and Iraq were but we lied and refused to negotiate. I do not give a damn what we print in the history books, if you lived during that time and are honest about it you will remember when all that happened. It was Israeli planted propaganda all about "yellow cake" and WMDs. This is a repeat of the same kind of BS that we are still paying for all to give Trump his "Obama moment" in the Situation Room. But we should always remember that Obama went after a man, not a nation. Even the people of Iran who hate the regime can't be ok with this.
Trump and Bibi are war criminals in every sense of the word and we are fools if the world allows them to get a way with this.
Van should just stop trying to be accepted by whites. He will never be.
