Western Officials Admit Ukraine Is Crawling With CIA Personnel. The admission that NATO powers are so involved in operations against a nuclear superpower means we are closer to seeing a nuclear exchange than anyone should be comfortable with.

the US government is telling us

Nobody is telling me anything. Today the facists blew up a shopping center and left civilians who were buying food as charred lumps of coal. That makes me angry. I didn't need someone to tell me to be angry, I just was, because my brain works normally. Likewise I was angry at the Kramatorsk train station attack or when they released nerve gas in UK and put people in hospital - that made me angry without anyone needing to intervene.

How stupid do you think we are?

How stupid are you for NOT getting angry just because the Russian government told you not to be.

killed 500,000 children in Iraq -

And did it make you angry? Clearly it didn't, because all the facist crimes happening this year haven't made you upset with the facists, so I don't know why you bring up this whataboutism. You're totally fine with mass slaughter, admit it.

Here's Madeline Albright (a Jew)

Go fuck yourself for the Jew comment. Here's what she later wrote about the incident in her book Madam Secretary.

I must have been crazy; I should have answered the question by reframing it and pointing out the inherent flaws in the premise behind it. Saddam Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations…. As soon as I had spoken, I wished for the power to freeze time and take back those words. My reply had been a terrible mistake, hasty, clumsy and wrong. Nothing matters more than the lives of innocent people. I had fallen into the trap and said something I simply did not mean. That was no one’s fault but my own. (p. 275)

She says those comments were a mistake.

But it shouldn't matter. Because you don't care about the murder of children in Ukraine, so I don't think you care about the murder of Iraqi children.

And what, am I the Iraq guy now? Since when?

You're totally fine with mass slaughter, admit it.

You're defending someone who defended the mass slaughter of 500,000 children. A powerful person who doesn't need internet commenters to jump to her defense. Instead, defend the little guy. You know, like dead children.

Saddam didn't starve those children to death, US sanctions did. US sanctions kill millions all over the planet. They're a form of illegal siege warfare. We can't affect what other countries do, but we CAN affect our own.

Bruh we already established. You loved it when the Mariupol theatre was bought down with children inside. You loved it when the Kramatorsk train station attack killed evacuating children. Why are you pretending that dead Iraqi children matter in your world. We can see where you stand on the matter of baby killing.

It's clearly bad faith debating tactic to pretend like you care about children when you don't. You're the one who keeps steering conversation away from the slaughter in Ukraine, towards some whataboutism. Just face up to the topic at hand: at least Madeline Albright showed some remorse later on. You don't feel anything about the children Putin has killed.

Now you are just straight up lying.

You can read minds! Wow, that's amazing! Say, can you do it again? Can you tell me what I had for breakfast?

This is what you wrote

We're supposed to get angry with the people the US government is telling us to get angry with? How stupid do you think we are?

The US government is the world's largest mass murderer. They killed 500,000 children in Iraq

You had every chance to condemn the murder of children in Mariupol and Kramatorsk, committed by Russia, but you haven't. Yet you demand I talk about some 20 year old mistakes by someone other nation entirely. What other conclusion can a person make?

Now you are just straight up lying

Isn't it true that you didn't care about the dead and displaced ukranians? Why would I conclude otherwise from your comments?

We're supposed to get angry with the people the US government is telling us to get angry with?

You're not angry. You're not angry about the dead children. So stop pretending otherwise

It was grain cereal. You're not a mind-reader, so stop telling other people what they think. Your bad faith interaction has been noted.

Oh. Sorry. Did your little detour into whataboutism not go the way you planned. In retrospect, the choice of dead children wasn't a good whatabout to defend Russia, because they're presently engaged in a genocide.
