only fair enough, I remember when they made the US and UK do this after killing hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq

You're not wrong, but just because the USA and UK got away with it doesn't mean we should continue to let others get away with it. We can't go back in time and fix it but we've got to start somewhere.

Can you even manage in a fever dream to think that this would set a precedent that would result in the US ever getting punished?

Punished for what? Throwing money and military support towards everyone when they need it? Oh, that. Right. As always, hating the USA is what the cool kids do these days. Until they need taxpayer money or military support. I’d love to see us cut off every ounce of support we give to other nations and see how that works out.

Me too! It would be an incredible turn of events that would massively benefit the world. Could you throw in removing the blockades on Cuba and the DPRK and others while you are at it?

COOL. GO AHEAD.

Lmao, the US, simultaneously the strongest and coolest country in the world and a cucked nation that can be bullied by even the smallest african country into giving away free protection.

Are you guys from hexbear all 14 or something? I see a bunch of you posting infantile memes in response to criticism.

they also assume everyone else is from the US and heartily supports imperialism somehow

The three year long echo chamber did wonders it seems
