There has to be a strong precedent that's a lawful order.

If invading a country that it seems like you can't justifiably invade counted, several recent American wars would be remembered quite differently.

AN order like "start bombing schools in Canada" would be a different matter. (Inb4 someone links a time they bombed a school, 'cause West bad)

    "Links a time"?

    Like at the beginning of the last illegal fucking war they started 6 months ago?

    There you go!

    It would have been embarrassing if nobody did it after/because I pointed it out.

    Lol no.

    That was actually a funny moment. It was supposed to be a 1/3 chance of no response or 2/3 of a different anti-Western canard. Instead, the internet decided to be extra dumb and walk into an obvious blunder.

    Did you see a link?

    No, because it was recent enough you know exactly what I was talking about.

    Funny enough, I'm actually not sure.

    Do you still want to give a link?

    That'd be playing right into your hands.

    Nice try.

    Was it, or was it an obvious softball question you were supposed to get?

    For anyone reading, the point is actually to not talk to these people, since I don't like having the same argument over and over again, and it's messed up they care so much about "winning" in the first place.

    I am, at this point. You have to respond somewhat, or you look like you can't, since nobody else is keeping track of the other thousand times we've been over this.
