Russian bombing in Syria might be war crime

1. War crime schmore crime

It's all the rage these days.

Sure the US commits them every single day in Yemen and no one cares about that... Hard to suddenly care about Russians.

[uhnope]

2. you again.

the zero-cred poster who will use any RWNJ source to bash Obama/the USA. And now, total false equivalence, an important tool for any self-hating American/CTer.

Now you're oppose the fight against Al Queda?

Sure, go ahead, tell us how the US is committing war crimes "every single day in Yemen." Everyone enjoys a logical limbo dance. Make sure you link to The Intercept, The Nation or, even better, Alex Jones or Sputnik News.

3. poor you

All you still have is attack the messenger

And if you honestly think the US is fighting al Qaeda in Yemen then you're more clueless than I thought.

The number one beneficiary of the US action in Yemen is al Qaeda... followed by ISIS.

The entire world sees this except Americans - whose media is complicit in hiding this shit.

They also see this:

Collective punishment, which the US has been involved with and continues to be involved with is a war crime.

Endlessly bombing civilians is a war crime

But sure, head in the sand for you... and please make sure to attack me personally in your response - it feel weird if you didn't at this point.

4. here's my favorite part

The entire world sees this except Americans - whose media is complicit in hiding this shit.

Typical grandiose BS.

Typical CT logic: Indirect US backing = sole & total US guilt

Hey, I once paid a buck to take a bus, and later that day that same bus struck & killed a jaywalker. So I'm a sponsor of murder! No, I am a murderer!

You know, your argument might have a little bit of cred if you at least weren't simultaneously running defense for Dear Leader Putin while linking to RWNJ websites. No, that's not a "personal attack" (another complaint-tactic in the CTer's toolbox), that's called consistency. You don't get that. For example, I might argue racial politics with a well-meaning person with whom I disagree, but I wouldn't spent time discussing it with a Stormfronter.

So I might have been interested in the dialogue if you hadn't so quickly showed your hand with that bizarre link to Jay Sekulow.

I know your type well--you don't really give a shit about human rights, you are motivated by anger toward America & self-hatred about being an American. You will go round and round in circular arguments.

and true to form, it seems like you're stalking my posts now. so buh bye to the ignore list

5. lol

Indirect US backing?

See that kinda of BS is so far from the truth as to completely expose your agenda.

The US has been helping Saudi choose targets:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-widens-role-in-saudi-led-campaign-against-yemen-rebels-1428882967

They have sold them billions in weapons - as you know.

The US is also a large part of the blockade which is starving the nation - which is OBVIOUSLY a war crime. And it even made up the excuse that it couldn't afford to sponsor a UN blockade. The cost was something like one million USD. But apparently that was too much for the US and Saudi Arabia to spend, to help the nation not starve to death.

And I'm NOT defending Putin - who is a scumbag dictator, but it's hard to take anyone seriously that criticises Putin for doing things that they themselves are involved in. It's hypocrisy.

And all the crap about me at the end - that you've just generated from thin air - good luck with that... you're not describing me. Though as always with you it's the same one note: attack the messenger.

And as always it's because you don't have anything else to add.
