From the guy’s own mouth.

    A) it is when you ignore every single point except the one you can twist

    B) and you were wrong

    C) yet you’ve been minimizing the Ukrainian coup orchestrated by the US, and denying the right of self-determination to people in the Donbass

    D) you didn’t use it as a negative at all. Nowhere in your comment do you condemn the Iraq war. In fact you are whitewashing it by implying that somehow the US should be praised for not doing ethnic cleansing (which they did, lest we forget the 1.5 million dead Iraqi)

      Okay, I just want to focus on D for a moment because I genuinely can’t work out how you could arrive at this conclusion. We can come back to the others afterwards. I was arguing that a referendum run by an invading army should not be considered legitimate and used a hypothetical one run by America in Basra as an example. I even specifically called the invasion “unprovoked” in my first response to you. Please explain to me how you think that this is me saying that the invasion of Iraq was praiseworthy.
