Interesting, I am talking about the previous administration, and your answer is to talk about something totally unrelated. You like pulling strawman on people?



And I had been talking about administration members arrested, and your solution was to talk about something totally unrelated, so it’s particularly rich of you to make this accusation when this is literally what you just did.


>How many people were killed by wars started in the previous administration? I'll let you ponder on that.

You're whatabouting really hard, and so I threw it back in your face. You complain about Obama "starting wars"? Well he didn't start any wars - that was GW Bush who started wars, and it was under GW Bush that 500,000+ humans were killed, not Obama.

So if you want to demonize someone, you might not want to lie about it and say they started wars when they didn't, and completely ignore the fact that the one who did start the wars actually killed an atrocious amount of people.

> No, the US never declared war on Libya. WTF are you even????

They didn't declare war on Iraq either, neither in 91 nor in 03. They didn't even declare war on Vietnam. Were they not at war with Vietnam, when they invaded the country and committed countless war crimes?

> Sorry, the US was never "at war" with Libya.

They bombed the shit out of Libya. At some point "not at war" becomes meaningless, you're just arguing semantics.


Libya was a military engagement authorized by United Nations Security Council. So don't go blaming the US for everything, the United Nations is who you should be angry at.

Don't confuse United Nations with United States. You should be mad at all the countries in the United Nations then, not just specifically the United States.

And no, they didn't "bomb the shit out of Libya". You're overreacting, and I wonder what agenda you serve.


> a military engagement

Right. War. Just as in Vietnam, where it was even called the Vietnam War, or in Iraq, multiple times, the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Semantic games are boring.

> You're overreacting, and I wonder what agenda you serve.

Good grief, not everybody that disagrees with you has an agenda.


>Semantic games are boring.

That doesn't mean you're right.
