The US Government Lies Constantly, And The Burden Of Proof Is On The Accuser
The US Government Lies Constantly, And The Burden Of Proof Is On The Accuser
In reality thereās no evidence for any of the reasons weāve been offered for why Iran needed to be provoked into an almost inevitable retaliation that Trump is currently tweeting will result in all-out war:
- The claim that Soleimani posed an āimminent threatā is completely without evidence, rumored to be ārazor thinā, and entirely debunked in this excellent essay by Craig Murray.
- Mike Penceās claim that Soleimani assisted 9/11 terrorists is so ridiculous that even the war-loving Washington Post dismissed it.
- Thereās no proof that Soleimani directed the strike that allegedly killed a US contractor, or that that contractor even existed.
- Thereās no proof that Soleimani was involved in any āattackā on any US embassy, leaving aside the obvious fact that a little graffiti on the walls wouldnāt justify his assassination if he did.
- The āhundreds of American deathsā line you hear regurgitated by everyone from Trump to Elizabeth Warren actually refers to Iraqis defending themselves from an illegal US invasion with some training from Iran. The claim that Iran was behind Iraqi bombs is withoutevidence and wouldnāt matter if it were true; claiming the inhabitants of an invaded nation donāt have the right to defend themselves is absurd, regardless of where they got their weaponry.
- The claim that Soleimani was āa terroristā is only made because the branch of the Iranian military he commanded was arbitrarily designated a terrorist organization by the US government last year, a designation that any foreign government could just as easily make for any branch of the US military. He was actually a fearsome enemy of ISIS and al-Qaeda and played a massive role in halting the spread of ISIS.
Trump turned it into a shit show? It was a shit show long before Trump even considered running for office. The left was labeling moderate Republicans like Mitt Romney and John McCain as ultra conservatives when they dared to run against Barack Obama. Trump is the result of that behavior...not the cause of it.
