Apparently Israel and the US can start wars, bomb countries, commit war crimes, and they're always the good guys. The UN and NATO are now pointless when it comes to world peace, they should be shut down and a new international system set up. The ICC is just as rubbish.

This post is woke anti Semitic and wants women to be veiled, and supports Hamas and loves the Ayatollah. /S

Makes sense...

Don't forget all the scientists including the ones involved in atrocities. Some of them were asked to work for the USA instead of facing punishment

You thought NATO ever existed for world peace?

Welcome to NATO, the “defensive” alliance where everything’s made up and the laws don’t matter.

Whose bomb is it anyways?

I didn't know the NATO is the arbiter of this. I'd've figured there'd be something less openly biased towards certain states here

It has real, “we’ve done a thorough investigation and found we didn’t do anything wrong” vibes.

Y'all'd've learned that one years ago if you'd gone to high school in my town.

Rutte is a fascist and a genocide apologist.

This meme is funny, but honestly would fit Trump better. He's constantly blowing smoke up his own ass.

Of course NATO terrorists would be okay with starting a war via air strike in the first place, they're one of the OGs.

[–] pinkapple@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 weeks ago

Where are the nafo chodes to point out that NATO "is a defensive alliance what's wrong with defense why not expand it everywhere to protect people XD"?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

The nuclear facilities just did that themselves

Is 'international law' even worth the paper it's printed on?

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think that's true of anything a permanent member of the security council does.
