He couldn’t stay in hell, after he broke up with satan.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully Satan finds a better partner who deserves him.

People’s moral compass got seriously screwed over the past couple years. They hate america so much that they think every enemy of america is literally the reincarnation of jesus christ.

Believing Saddam is in heaven would require believing in some sort of god/afterlife/good place vs bad place, and I assure you the vast majority of people who make satirical memes commenting on the United States once again using the excuse of “WMDs!” don’t believe in that. This is gallows humor, grim laughter at being fed the same bullshit time and time again. It’s the by-product of burnout when the regime changes but the narrative remains the same.
What has happened in America (and globally) is that digital interfacing has removed all the nuance, non-verbal, and tonal clues that would clue others in that satire is not endorsement. It relies on the belief that the listener/reader is literate enough to understand that what is being offered is not meant to be taken at face value. It can be true that Saddam was a piece of shit and that it wasn’t America’s place to take him out under false pretenses. I wouldn’t shed a tear if the mango turd got sent to Hell (metaphorically, since I don’t believe in Hell), but I would still be perturbed if his ticket was checked by some foreign nation that I knew didn’t actually give a fuck about me and my community or what came next for us.

IAEA made it quite clear that Iran was, in fact, producing highly enriched uranium. There’s no other use for than to make nukes
Ironically, IAEA reports also supported that Iraq was not doing so back in 2003.

They have the right to make nukes as much as anyone. Kinda surprised they didn’t just buy some from North Korea to prevent all this.
Mika@piefed.ca 4 hours ago
It would prevent nothing of this. You need to deliver the nuke to the destination and USA is on the other side of the globe.
