I'm just taking your word for it...

Not asking you to hate - just answering your apologia for war with a firm nuh uh.

I'm just taking your word for it.

I guess there's blame enough to go around.

A bit of moral relevancy will surely restore life to those school children and cure their families' heartbreak.

AGAIN, I don't see it as a typing contest. I see it as a clash of ideas. I disagree with the whole blame-spreading thing, and I disagree with assuming a liar is telling the truth this time.

It's not like this is novel in any WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. This is fiftieth verse, same as the first. Maybe we can meet in the middle, and you can be persuaded to meet my level of outrage on the NEXT war of choice by a peace candidate that drives EVERY CONSUMER PRICE IN THE NATION upward (hide and watch the ripple - it's coming bigly and yugely, and it is going to hurt like hell).

Not a full on monger, no - just an easy mark for propaganda.They're killing their own people, I tells ya! THEY'RE the problem this time. It's not like that other time, or that other time, or that other time.THIS time, they are at fault - not the people dropping bombs in a war of choice. I mean, we HADDA do it. We would MUCH rather have been attacking Cuba or Greenland, but those will have to wait on account of our DOODY in Iran.

I believe you. Propaganda has a way of oozing into every facet of life in Orwellian Murka.

Simply put, as you have what you deem as reliable sources to flesh out your narrative, I see inputs from all over as well. Even reliable sources aren't always right so the game is afoot no matter where you look.
I have given credit to you and some others for viewpoints and other sources I may not have seen otherwise. I dug a bit deeper to verify, read a book or two, etc.
So you could be considered a "source" as well. I know you're full of **** sometimes and that's ok.

There was a vid you posted a couple of days ago. Some brown guy blathering on about the Iran strikes. He was guessing a bit himself. But you posted him so you must believe everything he said, right?    I'm sure he was speaking the truth as he sees it.
The Iraqi guy at my house the day after the bombs fell was one of the people quite satisfied that Iran was slapped down. He was a brown guy with family over there still. I'm sure he was speaking the truth as he sees it.

I guess what I'm saying is why would I 100% believe any source? The gubmint has a stake in cowing the masses. So, they apparently have a duty to lie. At the same time why would you care to try your propaganda on me? Are you seeking to help me or win the dick measuring contest?   

Seriously, having American presence worldwide probably is the biggest dick measuring contest going on. Those "bases" aren't all armed to the teeth covering thousands of acres. Even the total number is dubious (between 400 and 700+). WTF?! Who has the right number for chrissakes?
What even qualifies as a "base"?

Anyway, I have to get ready for the No Kings carnival in less than 2 weeks. Gonna be tight. Lots to prepare.
