> LOL liberals are anti-war? They are as big of warmongers as reactionaries are.

It is weird how little you understand about America. You are the first person I've ever heard say something as bizzare as that. It is really hard to take you seriously. Here are pages and pages of liberal anti-war protestors.

You hardly give any details and no sources for your vague claims, but besides not being remotely comparable to the wars started by the GOP I listed, they are riddled with obvious errors like this one:

>JFK was driving with the Ba’ath Party and Saddam Hussein.

JFK was not alive when Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq. He wasn't even alive when his predecessor or predecessor's predecessor was in power in Iraq.

>You liberals, look exactly the same as reactionaries;

Do reactionaires have endless pictures of huge crowds of anti-war protestors like liberals do in the link above? If they have that exact same look maybe get your vision checked.

[In February 1991, the Shia of southern Iraq rose against Saddam Hussein. Barry M. Lando, a former investigative producer for 60 Minutes, argues compellingly that this ill-fated uprising represents one instance among many of Western complicity in Saddam Hussein's crimes against humanity. ]

Dude, your own book link here is criticizing Bush for NOT intervening in Iraq. You can't even decide if you are pro or anti-war. Blame America for not going to war. Blame America for going to war. Your only consistency is "blame America for everything".

LOL liberals are anti-war? They are as big of warmongers as reactionaries are. They just hide it behind a veneer of "compassion".

You've obviously been fed a steady diet of Americiana propaganda and can't see through the narrative. Republicans might (usually) set things in motion, but democrats continue the legacy.

Kennedy and his administration supported a coup against the Iraqi government, a coup led by Abdul Salam Arif. The US and British forces supported the Hussein Regime for decades, because of the JFK conducted/funded regime change - JFK was driving with the Ba’ath Party and Saddam Hussein.

Clinton, acted without the authorization of the United Nations when he sent NATO to slaughter civilians; Amnesty International considers it a war crime. He carried on the wars the republicans set in motion, without hesitation. Hillary Clinton was a key architect of the NATO intervention in Libya and is a war criminal under international law.

Obama, used drones, continued on Guantánamo Bay, refused to prosecute those responsible or even to allow the release of much more than the summary of a comprehensive Senate Intelligence Committee report, he widened domestic and foreign surveillance; and authorized the CIA (Gulf Cooperation Council) led military operations.

Roosevelt denied aid to Polish troops who were fighting against the Soviet government, and suppressed a report that blamed the Katyn massacre on the Soviets.

Half a million Iraqi children died as a result of US sanctions and bombing of Iraqi infrastructure - carnage begun by Daddy Bush and continued by Bill Clinton, and then again with Bush Junior.

Democrats aren't just republicans enablers, they routinely carry the torch. Democrats regularly support operations such as Operation Condor, Operation AJAX, Timber Sycamore etc... It doesn't matter if the president is a democrat or a republican, they all support/continue the resource wars financed and orchestrated by their intelligence agencies, they are all accomplices in global predation.

Azizabad airstrike, Haditha massacre, Abu Ghraib, My Lai, No Gun Ri...

Ellen fucking DeGeneres, cuddled up with coke head Bush (another US war criminal and anti-LGBT crusader) because liberals convictions don't extend beyond "woke" brands. You liberals, look exactly the same as reactionaries; you just dress it up in fancier packages.

This is what really gets me about liberals. Republicans slaughter innocent people = bad (as it should be), democrats slaughter innocent people = it was a necessity. That is the level of the liberal hypocrisy and dissonance. As long as the demoractic leader can regurgitate pretty words, their actions don't matter.

The democratic party has never been anti-war, they have (like their republican allies) been proponents of US interventionism all over the globe. And the good little liberal bootlickers just parrot the media portrayal.

It is exactly as I thought, you wont answer me because you can't. Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
