Ig technically, but it was really the US that invaded Afghanistan. Considering their allies that sent significantly smaller forces and did not make the decision to start the military activity as fellow invaders is disingenuous at best.

I would hope that cooler heads prevail, as they have before.
This is the most famous one but I believe there was also one by NORAD in the 60s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
It’s kinda wild to claim that the US invaded Russia when they literally only sent one contigent of troops. That’s like saying Canada invaded Afghanistan.
In the US they usually just hit you with trumped up charges for daring to do something. When the keystone xl pipeline was being built some protesters crawled inside so they couldn’t continue working… those protesters were charged with attempted murder iirc (because it was dangerous for them to crawl inside the pipeline or some bs).
Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.
I mean Saudi Arabia showed that American citizens lives only matter when they align with national interests years and years ago
You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)
Nuance. Trump did have that power. He did not, by any means, have power over the entirety of US policy. The fact that the Republicans had significant congressional control also gave him, but actually them, more overall power, but still not absolute by any sense of the imagination. Absolutely every country has different factions and inner workings, but in countries where there is a supreme authority, those are by and large null and void. The US does not have any one supreme authority (except money maybe lol)
I’m basically saying that we can only blame the people that had the power and that took the action in question, or, alternatively, the people with power over them.
That fails to take into account any effort by the idf to minimize child casualties, which is absolutely happening. It assumes an equal amount of adult and children civilian deaths when there is no marker whatsoever that shows that to be the case, other than the overall ratio of children to adults in Gaza. You have made a huge leap in your logic.
*uneducated idiots isolate…
Ftfy
Except that Iran isn’t a democracy in practice or really by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe in the 80s, but when a country has a leader with complete and total authority, it really doesn’t matter.
We blame Putin for the actions of Russia bc he has supreme authority over Russia. We cannot blame a single president for the same, as 1, they don’t have supreme authority in most matters, and 2, unlike Russia the US is actually a representative democracy, whether or not you like the options available.
In essence, I disagree with the premise that this is the norm. It’s not only visible from the inside. If people don’t care enough to find out, that’s a different problem, but in general, diplomatic officials tend to know abt this kind of stuff because it’s their job to.
America doesn’t have a Supreme leader dumbass
Trump ripped up the agreement***
When the two major parties have massively different diplomatic policies we have problems like this a lot.
It can also be good sometimes tho like when Jimmy Carter became president and started cracking down on the junta in Argentina and flying out victims and stuff.
This is assuming that the 2:1 ratio has come from anywhere other than original commenter’s asshole
Then there’s the crazy motherfuckers that swam it

Ehhh idk about that one. In a case like this? Sure. Random crimes are almost never solved tho. If you go two states over in a car, shoot someone in the face, and then go home, then you’re almost never gonna get caught. Especially if it occurred somewhere with a high crime rate or to a member of a marginalized community.
Don’t get any ideas tho!
I mean shit we’ve been having this under a different name (Boy Scouts) brought to us by the British and the US for the past 100+ years.
Scouting today is obviously a lot different than back then (literally a training program for the british scouts section of the armed forces), but still an astounding number of scouts from the US and UK go into military service as a result.
And I’m an eagle scout so I seen this shit from the inside.
