MODERATORS
The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.
What country are you in bloomcole that your hands are clean?
Belgium, to humor your whataboutism
Shall we ask a couple of countries in Africa whether Belgium has clean hands?
Like I haven't heard that feeble argument from an americunt when he looked up Belgium to try some whataboutism.
Bravo you've found ONE straw to grasp at from a long time ago where the circumstances are in no way comparable.
We're talking about support of the people.
For one, what did people know back then about the private endeavour of a royal or about anything remotely distant from where they lived?
Yes that definitely is the same as the people of the US shithole supporting nearly all their violent imperialism and terrorism while they have every opportunity to know they're wrong.
Oh, and BTW, it's your cancer shithole that took over in Congo and about everywhere they could in Africa.
So you can fuck right off with your ridiculous gotcha attempt.
That was a long way to say yep we fucked around in Africa.
'we' didn't do anything.
you and all your miserable population are war criminals.
Glad you're eating shit and circling the drain, you fully deserve it
Belgians sure did, do we need drag out Belgian colonial history
no asshole, not humoring your whataboutism about totally irrelevant history when talking about US war crimes and their reprehensible barbarian population being complicit.
So fuck off, you've got nothing of relevance to offer.
You were super quick to pat yourself on the back then super annoyed when I pointed out Belgian history.
You can criticize America or any country, heck you can get big mad but there is no country that doesn’t have blood on its hands
