Agree, but to me they're no different from any other genocide denying pieces of shit. If you are a NATO apologist that sees what happened to Iraq or what is currently happening to Gaza as any less abhorrent, you are just as bad as someone apologizing for Russia or the USSR.
The economically motivated NATO intervention in Libya was justified with false claims of a genocide. This was the conclusion reached by the British parliament report. Now Libya is a war-torn failed state with open-air slave markets. That intervention was less than a decade after “Iraq has WMDs,” a lie that has killed over a million people. When we have all witnessed these events in our lifetimes, I think we should be a little skeptical when enemy states are vilified. I don’t know if public backlash could have prevented the intervention in Libya, but I hope we’ll at least try to prevent the next one.
Am I an apologist if I say, "It's okay for them to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things"?
How the hell did commies just become pro capitalist?
I don't follow whatever your reasoning is here.
so capitalist alliances are good now?
I said, "It's okay for them to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things".
That could mean, "it's okay for capitalist countries to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things", as easily as it could mean, "it's okay for communist countries to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things".
capitalist countries are different than commie ones, thats the whole point
Would you give communist countries a free pass to commit genocides, war crimes, and human rights violations, just because they are communist?
Only difference is in magnitude. Authoritarian countries are remarkably efficient at killing huge numbers of people.
I wonder where all the native americans went
Mostly killed by diseases they had no immunity to, but it was greatly exacerbated by terrible conditions in reservations due to corruption and malice, and hard forced relocations.
