Some democrat, ideally an Iraq and Afghanistan vet, like Gallego, needs to take the floor in Congress and start literally screaming about this outrage against the fellowship of arms

lawnerd.bsky.social•103 days ago

Our Canadian friends deserve evidence of our outrage. They are entitled to it.

“They bled with us”

Also just overtly thuggish to come out and say we’ll help you but you gotta make it worth our while.

Like. What?

The right-wing gutter press here is livid, which is nice to see

The Coalition of the Willing was us, Britain, Spain, and then some random Pacific islands

I don't agree that Bush was as bad or worse than Trump but I do agree with the softer criticism that it was way worse than people remember

Can we compare the coverage of Harris and the hillbilly wonder who seems to causing a international incident weekly, destroying American power with no comment by media other than look at Trump’s attack dog

Bush and his clique had a vision for a New American Century and were willing to trample over morality to get there.

These guys seem to be doing it for shits and giggles

You forgot Poland.

Tony Blair, feeling today like the poodle he is.

And what "real war" did the US fight in the past 30 years either

wes0311.bsky.social•103 days ago

I mean I don’t expect these types to be concerned too much history, but the Brits actually won the last war they fought. The Falklands are still Britain’s.

We can’t say that our wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam exactly ended well for us.

Far be it from me to defend Vance but that was over 40 years ago so maybe it's the one 30 years ago he's referencing

wes0311.bsky.social•102 days ago

Hard to know what he’s referencing (ever) considering he’s ignored the fact that they backed us when we played our Article 5 card in Iraq & Afghanistan.

The only member nation to use it, yet now saying the alliance isn’t in our interests.

glocks4interns.bsky.social•102 days ago

Wait is that really why y'all went to Iraq? lol

idogcapital.bsky.social•103 days ago

And the only country to directly aid us with Prosperity Guardian against the Houthis instead of doing their own naval operation! Literally our closest military ally.

Lmao Vance is trying to backpedal so hard
