    Unpopular Opinion: starting wars that murder hundreds of thousands of innocent people for no reason is worse than the Epstein scandal. Though I admit my reasoning depends on the value of Arab lives being way higher than most Westerners would allow.

      Id like to think that its not unpopular. The Epstein scandal is essentially gripping trump by the balls; he is a warmonger, but so is any other dictator. The correlation with the scandal makes this quite different and isnt something that can be swept under the carpet.

      The effective weapon towards a psychopathic warmonger is having as much surface area as possible.

      America still had their reasons for those wars. They weren’t good reasons, but it wasnt a war for no reason.

      Wholly disagree.

      Starting a war to distract from decades of child rape is an entirely different level of disgusting.

      I detest both of the warmongers, but I detest the child raping warmonger a whole lot more.

      I’d say they’re on roughly the same level. War mongering and child trafficking are both generally top level villainy.
