When I read the OP tweet saying that the US is ‘preparing to go to war’ my first thought was that it was preparing to go to war, as it did in Iraq and a host of other places. Not a joint operation with a broad coalition of forces. An invasion. Because that’s usually what it means when we hear the US is preparing for war.

I don't know what to say about this. I read it as a figure of speech. Something the other guy is claiming as his defense now. I think it's a weird reading to think this in any way meant an "invasion". The trading of military projectiles is all I thought about.

Coming at this with relatively little knowledge, I was curious, so it didn’t come across as screeching or sneering. Characterising that sentence as such

Please don't attempt this conflation. I characterised their angry response as a whole a "screeching". I characterised this sentence as "sneering", please don't misrepresent me.

‘this is all in your mind’, ‘crybullying’, ‘panicky attempt’, ‘scarecrow’. This is not the way of a good faith discussion,

This is all in response to OP's raging defense of America's brutality in the region. Specifically its aggression towards the only material state defense against its genocide.

not to mention the ableism.

Excuse me? It sounds like you're attempting to dishonestly gain some kind of moralistic, liberal upper hand by accusing me of this. Please explain yourself. Where is this ableism? Now this is not the way of a good faith discussion.

ComradeSalad appears to have identified ‘misinformation and ragebait’

I disagree. They've enacted a completely over the top histrionic defence of the USA's actions here and decided to uncharitably take issue with a simple tweet as a literal, legal statement of fact.

and there is a big difference between that and impliedly supporting the US.

Then you can insert your own explanation for his extreme emotional reaction?

I for one am glad of it, so that I don’t repeat falsehoods. There’s enough to criticise the US about, as you noted in another comment above, without sensationalism.

Agreed. Now you better back up your allegations against me making ableist comments. Since we're taking everything extremely literally here, as if this is a court of law. I take your accusation very seriously.
