  Hmm, let’s see, one country was ruled by a murderous dictator using chemical weapons against his own people and crushing dissidents to a pulp in secret prisons. The other is a mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and a free press.

  Yes, yes, I can see how you think that’s exactly the same.

    The chemical weapons claim has debunked many times since the claim was made by intelligence orgs, and the white helmets exposed as a western regime change operation.

    Which country is the “mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and free press”? Would that be the UK, which is crushing pro-Palestine protestors, arresting journalists for criticism of Israel, arming genocide, and participating in CIA torture black sites?

      The country that has openly declared it will defy ICC arrest warrants?

      You need to stop listening to the British right that never happened. The conservatives threatened it and then they got removed from office and now it’s not a thing anymore.

        Let me know when Starmer starts supporting the arrest warrant enforcement.

      Yes, as I said, it’s exactly the same. I’m really glad you’re here to make it so plain to everyone.
