Reminder that USA has officially declared zero war after ww2. Doesn't stop it from committing atrocities in worldwide

A decent chunk of Americans learned about this idea from George Carlin, which is sad to think about.

Ah yes. WANAWWI. Little less stylish than dub dub dos, but it will do.

"Special Military Operation" name was directly inspired by USA calling Korean War "Police Action".

Ah the Korean War, also sometimes called "the Forgotten War" by pundits and journos who's fucking job it is to not allow shit like this to be "forgotten".

They won't let you forget Tiananmen square for a minute, but the war with the highest percentage of civilan casualties in history, with over 10 million deaths which is higher proportion that Soviet losses in WW2, the bombing campaign so genocidal that by the US army general admission there was simply nothing left to bomb when they were done... Oopsie, we forgot!

That's precisely why it was forgotten.

Who the fuck is this Gunther Eagleman dipshit? He sees U.S. airstrikes against Iran and concludes there is no war between the U.S. and Iran.
