u. s. invaded iraq in 2003, a nice picture of george w bush and the title. now, the waging piece, you know, the difference as they say, when you hear american mainstream media talk about the ongoing war in ukraine. don't forget to check what the very same outlets used to tell the whole world when it was their country conducting military operations. in 1999, the western nato launched a bombing campaign of yugoslavia, im also in europe, which saw thousands of casualties and millions of people displaced, time magazine sat the attack quote unquote, open the door to peace while what followed didn't look peaceful at all at stake is our entire policy in europe since the end of world war 2 to promote stability and democracy. nato's credibility is on the line. i was suggesting we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in an blow up all of the bridges on the dina. i was suggesting we take out his oil supplies. i was suggesting very specific action. ah ah . ah. western media definitely has a knack for justify wars in 2001 during the u. s. invasion

u. s. interference in countries since 911. okay, great. let. let's take it one by one, but let's start a little earlier than 911 at the u. s. has invaded iraq twice the 1st time because iraq invaded kuwait and in order to restore sovereignty to kuwait, we went into iraq and basically destroyed its army. now in retrospect, we probably should have done more, but that's the kind of situation in which the u. s. has historically fought, not because we want territory for ourselves, not because we seek economic vantage. but because one of our friends or allies has been invaded by somebody else, that's what's happening in ukraine today. and the difference between russian actions and us just as bad as clear as it could be. your line of argument is like the, the old saying that here you've got a, an old lady in the, near the path of a bus that's out of control. a 11 man comes up to her and pushes are in the front of the bus. another man comes up to her and pushes her away from the bus. and somebody says, well, you know, both these people are just pushing old ladies around. lo sure equate the parallel of that one. ok, but i mean, you know that the uni

anniversary of washington's invasion of iraq where hundreds of thousands lost their lives. ortiz, rachel blevins reports. it has been 19 years since the u. s. in its allies invaded iraq. the anniversary comes at a time when the architects of the iraq war and the politicians who supported the u . s. occupation of the country in the years to follow are now expressing their concern over the well being of civilians in ukraine. ah, i used to work for intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. ah, but those concerns who are nowhere to be found back in 2003 when the bush administration launch it quest for weapons of mass destruction. launching evasion into a rock widget proudly described as shock and awe. shutting the country down would entail both the physical destruction of appropriate infrastructure and the shut down in control of the flow of all vital information and associated commerce so rapidly as to achieve a level of national shock. akin to the effect that dropping nuclear weapons on hiroshima and nagasaki had on the japanese and make no

anniversary, a washington's invasion of iraq were hundreds of thousands lost their lives on his way to blevins reports. it has been 19 years since the u. s. in its allies invaded iraq. the anniversary comes at a time when the architects of the iraq war and the politicians who supported the u . s. occupation of the country in the years to follow are now expressing their concern over the well being of civilians in ukraine. ah, i used to work for you intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. ah, but those concerns were nowhere to be found back in 2003 when the bush administration launch. it's quest for weapons of mass destruction and launching of asia into a rock widget proudly described as shock and awe. shutting the country down would entail both the physical destruction of appropriate infrastructure and the shut down in control of the flow of all vital information and associated commerce so rapidly as to achieve a level of national shock. akin to the effect that dropping nuclear weapons on hiroshima and nagasaki had on the japanese and

u. s. as in the verge of invading iraq, there was all, all kinds of controversy when there were some suggestions. speculation that ari fleischer, the boot, george w bush, his press secretary, the time said, well, one bullet can, can remove, you know, can solve this problem loosely paraphrasing. and he was massively pushed back for suggesting to assassinate saddam hussein. so this is just not something that, that you f presidents tend to do to advocate for the removal of, of power, of leaders of power. we don't know what else he really meant by that. so i don't want to harp on it too long, but is a very notable escalation that i think i can't imagine putin not responding to in kind. and we'll just have to see how that plays plays out. there were so much else here in that speech, really, joe biden, trying to ease people's worries with a lot of references from pope john paul, the 2nd polish pope, a. i'm in a deeply catholic country, a be not afraid, and really trying a rallying cry to democracies as you know, since the end of the cold war, not really knowing what these, what democracy stand for, wh
