  • Yeah, that’s fair. Not like that rumor held any kind of water in the first place. It was started by the US government just because they needed to manufacture consent for an invasion so that they can invade their old buddy Saddam Hussein that stopped listening to them. Hell, they event tricked him into invading Kuwait, telling him behind closed doors that they’ll have his back at the UN, then didn’t keep on their promise hoping that the invasion would be the downfall of Iraq (which is wasn’t and that was the reason for them to maliciously start the false rumor that Saddam was trying to build weapons of mass destruction). I recommend listening to Blowback season 1. It’s a really well documented podcast by top tier journalists.

    Based on that, why would countries do literally anything at this point? A major superpower can make up any kind of rumor (even maliciously just to use as pretext) to achieve its goals. See Russia with the Nazis in Ukraine.




  • I honestly don’t understand why not every country isn’t producing nuclear weapons at this point. Diplomacy has clearly been a complete farce for decades now. Countries like Israel can develop nuclear weapons without any repercussions, because the “civilized west”, while seemingly being so obsessed with international law when it comes to countries like Iran and North Korea, surprisingly tends to forget about whatever Israel is doing, and thus is only selectively applying said international law. In extension, international law is a farce, and is only of importance when it suits one of the superpowers sitting in the imperial core.




  • “immediate aftermath”

    They’re still making those comments up to this day. They’re even attending conferences on settling Gaza where expelling Palestinians from their ancestral lands is a commonly discussed and widespread idea, which in turn constitutes ethnic cleansing and in combination with their statements and actions can amount to genocide.

    I won’t discuss why water is wet. The fact that Israel is committing a genocide has been discussed by various UN officials, ICC officials, and experts on genocide. Go argue with them.
