Apparently Israel and the US can start wars, bomb countries, commit war crimes, and they're always the good guys. The UN and NATO are now pointless when it comes to world peace, they should be shut down and a new international system set up. The ICC is just as rubbish.

This post is woke anti Semitic and wants women to be veiled, and supports Hamas and loves the Ayatollah. /S

Don't forget all the scientists including the ones involved in atrocities. Some of them were asked to work for the USA instead of facing punishment

You thought NATO ever existed for world peace?

Welcome to NATO, the “defensive” alliance where everything’s made up and the laws don’t matter.

Rutte is a fascist and a genocide apologist.

This meme is funny, but honestly would fit Trump better. He's constantly blowing smoke up his own ass.

Where are the nafo chodes to point out that NATO "is a defensive alliance what's wrong with defense why not expand it everywhere to protect people XD"?

Is 'international law' even worth the paper it's printed on?

I think that's true of anything a permanent member of the security council does.
