What attacks do you refer to? I've been avoiding the news recently and I'm just catching up on this saga.

Its because of Netanyahu and Trumps elections and impeachments. Deflection tactics. 

[TheHowieLama]

Anubis lad, out on a limb there if anything happens. 

[moof]

Stronts, the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously 

 

The US is the only country in the world that can put 300 military bases on a different continent, completely surround their enemy, obliterate them into dust and still get away with calling it a defensive measure

How about the guy killed next to him was the head of militia attacking the embassy?

If he actually was planning further attacks on Americans, then I'm not going to quibble about them referring to it as a defensive action. The key word there being 'If'.

Is that how armies work - they make plans, but if someone murders a general the plans stop?

 

I'm not sure Wayne LaPierre's "bad guy with a gun" rhetoric applies here.

An Iraqi group attacked a US air base, killing one US "contractor".  In retaliation, the US killed 25 people. 

 

In response to that, thousands protested at the US embassy and the building was damaged. In retaliation, the US killed some more people. 

 

Not what you'd call "proportionate", is it?

Exactly what I was going to post. Dead easy to tweet and be a loudmouth twat about war and killing people if you don't actually go to war yourself. Fucking cunts. What a fucking world we live in.
