I'll never forget his vial of Iraqi's weapons of mass destruction. That was a defining historic moment right there. Comical, but historic nonetheless.

RE: Half Year Manga Sales Ranking 2021 !
Expected when you have a story being stopped or stalled for more than 2 years. One piece is getting boring. I don't have the energy to get me these volumes. Seriously, no one is telling the author that he is killing his own story?

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
I didn't realize the ice cream issue was such a raw nerve.
Why is this eclipsing the discussion while people ignore the part of my post where I complained about how Donald Trump is literally letting people starve to death?
Because, you are only allowed to report that. The other issues with the democrats are off-limit.

RE: Pokemon Ultra S&M - Let's Minecraft Pikachu and Eevee Quest
While it may be entertaining for some, as a business product it's an embarassment regarding all the achievements and improvements the series made along the way. It's also a game that says nothing besides short sighted greed with little to no ambition.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't this the very definition of the pokémon franchise?

2-I believe Saddam deserved what happened to him.
Wow, and hell with the innocent millions living with him on the same land?
3-I don't think america went there to get rich or for any geopolitical interest it was just a bunch of neocons taking advantage of the circumstances to live out their fantasies of being saviors of an oppressed people.
I am speechless to read this. So these people hate their own people and oppress them but the lake to save some far away barbarians? By creating one of the biggest lies? And these neocons, have no interest to help their allies in the region? Wow…

RE: European Politics Thread
@S.C.:
His big mistake was wanting the oil from Kuwait. Because then we would have to buy it from him and that was a no-go.
Yes, but that was not the whole story. He was asked to pay for the Iran war. He thought he was doing it on their behalf and he thought of them as allies. He then invaded Kuweit for the money and and we know what happened next. The first Iraq war was on him, he fucked up his country and his own people. The second one though, Iraqi people never did anything to the West, never (9/11 terrorists are Saudi). Yet they got punished for that. Now, you can think that the US made a mistake in geography when they invaded Iraq, huuuum, but that doesn't explain this:
And the Brits confirming it, weapons of mass destruction hahahahah, one of the biggest lies in history. By the way isn't this called propaganda?

RE: European Politics Thread
idk Saddam was always a warmonger i don't think he will pass an opportunity to dominate the region
Again, from where do you get this? Saddam was not a warmonger, he was an asshole pawn against Iran. He was given the weapons as always from the west, paid by the Arabian monarchies. He was the ally of the west and their champion , fuck, he was even put in power by them. But things changed when he ended up the Iran war. One thing for you to always remember: Arab states, nations, countries do not manufacture weapons for wars, if they have them, it means somebody has been providing them. And that somebody are always the same. Russia or Nato. This is also true for wahabi mercenaries, otherwise called terrorists. If you get your info only here, you most probably think they are doing it for democracy. The politicians who are unable to provide some decent health care to their own, who are separating children and their parents since 2014, and yet you still think they have some love or consideration for people on the other side of the planet? As Nilitch has been saying, media bias in the US for wars is surreal. Look for instance at this: French weapons in the hands of mercenaries. If not given directly to them in Syria, they may have been traveling from Mali to Syria through Libya. Wow… or here. Yet, you still think that things and events are unrelated.

RE: European Politics Thread
Well he seemed to be agreeing with your comment that "Everything that's been happening since 2003 is the direct consequence of this war." so i assumed that was what he meant.

yeah, but no one is saying that though.It's not a "civil war" when: US, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Liban, Israel, Saudi Arabia, France, UK and mercenaries form Tunisia, Algeria and many others are involved. At least, in my humble knowledge, that's not a civil war. I am not saying ISIS started the civil war in Syria. I just said ISIS was created in Iraq with Iraqi people and after that went to Syria and changed the name to include the whole region. So yes, Iraq war started the destabilization of the region.
The Iraq war was mostly ideological there was no benefit for the US only losses.
Are you serious? If you mean benefit for the whole population of the US, of course there's none. But the chaos is the benefit to all US allies there and the chaos keeps their enemies busy. I am not even talking about the military industry, the oil companies. The chaos in that region keeps Iran, Russia and Hezbollah busy, while giving the Kurds, Israel and Turkey (US allies) the possibility to do their shit. And giving Saudi Arabia the religious (sunni-shia conflict) war they want. Chaos is one of the benefits. The same goes for Libya, chaos is the benefit as well as the change in who now controls the oil which shifted from Italy to France/UK.

I never said that any politician was a saint, nor that they cared about anyone. Sarkozy's intentions in Libya were always unclear
My comment was not meant to you. It's funny how the Lybian destruction is treated differently from Europe (especially in France) and in the US. They really still think they did it for "democracy", while in France, one of the main actors, it is really clear that Sarkozy did it for obscure reasons and that the intervention is a complete error. At least, Sarkozy is being investigated for his ties with the Gaddafi family and money, yet here they only know about the blood bath that was going to happen to poor Lybian civilians and they were saved by saint US/UK/French politicians like Sarkozy. Really funny…
