RIP, medic Gillan.

Another exceptional youngster taken needlessly.

US launched airstrikes in Iraq in retaliation for rocket attack, Pentagon confirms

Attacks targeted Iran-backed militia, which Pentagon blames for Wednesday’s killing of two US soldiers and UK servicewoman

The US and UK need to get the fuck out of Iraq!

The Iraqis told them to leave, as did millions of people all over the world, if they had done that then these people would still be alive.

And Iranian militias are the way to do it. Come on.

I didn't say anything about Iranian militias, that's a strawman.

 

[butchersapron]

What did you respond to?

 

[butchersapron]

Why no Iran needs to get out of Iraq? I know you're not a nationalist so don't frame it in nationalist terms like idiot anti imperialists.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Get fucked!

 

[AmateurAgitator]

If these soldiers weren't there they wouldn't be dead and neither would countless Iraqis. They should get the fuck out of Iraq. Just sayin.

 

[butchersapron]

Is this a parody of anarchist internationalism or something?

 

[AmateurAgitator]

And Iranian militias are the way to do it. Come on.

Are you saying that the prescence of Iranian militias gives the US/UK the right to remain in Iraq? It doesn't and there probably wouldn't be such militias there if wasn't for the interference of the US and the UK and their lackeys.

 

[butchersapron]

I though it was just the stalinists and beeleyites doing this nationalist stuff right now.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

If you want a discussion then you are going to have to drop the strawman bullshit.

 

[butchersapron]

Iraq for the iraqis right? That's the basis for responding to an iranian militia attack in iraq with saying brits out. Nothing else. That is an inherently nationalist response. It's not one any anarchist should have anything to do with.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Yeah, y'see- you seem to be trying to justify the prescence of the US and UK militaries in the region and you keep strawmanning me. I therefore see no point in continuing this 'exchange'.
