How ironic considering that the modern day use of the term "axis of evil" was coined by George W. Bush of all people to justify the Iraq war. And I thought Republicans couldn't get any worse back then.
Yes, as a teen I thought it was so absurd that the world wasn't deeply disturbed by the rhetoric and actions of the neo cons back then. Today, I would gladly take those idiots back.
I think many were disturbed back then. Heck, Obama even campaigned on it. It's just that nothing was done to meaningfully rectify it.
What concerns me even more today is that the narrative surrounding the Iraq war has shifted. Basic things like who started the war and for what purpose are lost in discussions. Even the liberal media sometimes seem to forget that it happened at all when talking about the military industrial complex. It's surreal, seeing all this 1984 BS playing out in the open.
This is a petty excuse. We just witnessed how USA tried to force Zelensky (who is in a much worse position than Israel) to sign a deal, and he refused. Israel voting this way falls in line with who they are.
