"Halabja, Gerrad Bull, Sheffield Forge Masters. We know what had been sold to Saddam, we knew what he had used on his own people and during the Iran/Iraq war, we knew the capability he was trying to develop. In legal terms is caused probable cause.
I sleep fine."
So now we are making excuses for the british govt, that wasnt the reason given for war was it, we are not police of the world and the iraqis didnt ask us for help. You sleep well cos non of you family members were a casualty of war. Ask all those who lost loved ones and kids orphaned for a war they didnt want or ask for.
"Putin's approach is if you know there's going to be a fight throw the first punch. I guess you don't have a problem with Putin's philosophy?"
No i dont, because we all remember what we were taught about cuban missile crisis, US didnt allow Russian missiles so close to its territories, they were even prepared to use nukes. Why should Russia accept US missiles close to its borders? US has been funding dangerous biolabs in Ukraine, so again russia is justified in invading ukraine, we used the same excuse in Iraq but there were no dangeous bioweapons.
" If that's true why do so many people in these countries risk life and limb to get to the west?"
Very simple answer, we rape their countries, we destroy their countries, we steal their resources and countries have totally collapsed Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan the list goes on. Why did many europeans emigrate to USA?
"Playing the race card is the last desperate attempt of the vaccuous."
You probably born in era where Britain had influence, now the only influence we have is by being a poodle to USa and do as they wish. When we in the west respect everyone as equals maybe then the world will be fairer.
