... the Iraq War that the US started? What the fuck is he talking about?

Well, he's about 20 years too late for such criticism, and if he had been around to say that, his party would have called him a terrorist sympathizer. He probably would be put on a "no-fly list. "

Vance saying Europe should've done more to stop his nation from going to war has a high levels of rapist blaming victim for their acts energy.

I was young back then so my memory of the details as i've experienced them are somewhat blurred, but there definitely was opposition. And that was met with statements along the lines of "if you're not with us you're against us/part of the problem".

That war?

Fuck off you pudgy little fake working-class beard eyeliner cunt.

And now that the US is pulling out of a proxy war, the EU is insisting it continue, consequences of nuclear war be damned.

I know Americans suck badly at Geography. But this war and Russia is bordering the European Union directly as opposed to Iraq. So it's a completely different thing

And you’re both going to continue a fight the US started, leaving both the EU & Russia in a weakened state. Which if you look into the leaked communications from the US state dept, you’d see that was exactly the plan.

You’re being played.
