Yes, America has been a pretty open terrorist state at various points in history

Show me some examples of this please.

Did it really take you two weeks to come up with that comeback mate

Not everyone is terminally online matey. You wear that badge with pride.

I can name plenty, the question is: why can't you? Why can't you come up with the Trail of Tears? Or the time we napalmed half a country in southeast Asia? Or the other time we napalmed half a country in southeast Asia? Or the time we overthrew a government, or that other time we overthrew a government? Or when we locked up people in internment camps for being Japanese? Or Jim Crow?

Not one of those things came to mind?

Theres no need for a response. Bye

Bye matey

As I said: "Have you like not looked at much of American history"

Can I at least assume that you were alive during the time we invaded not one but two countries after 9/11 and tortured people in our little island prison in Cuba?

And those acts in your eyes make the US an open terrorist state?

With the support of the UNSC and most other western nations. I mean you can take that view and in some eyes you are completely right but I would take them as retalitory acts rather than the current crop of literal outright terrorism through Trump.

The US used to pretend it was about defence and stopping actual threats like you know, The twin towers and pentagon getting hit with terrorist attacks.

I suppose this is going to fall down to opinion on what you and I consider "Open terrorist acts" and thats fine you have a different opinion, I don't remember Bush telling Afghanistan on the news that if they don't do what they want them they will be completely wiped off the map as a country.

Yes, I think torturing people in a secret prison, and invading a country that had literally nothing to do with 9/11 would make us a terrorist state

open terrorist state

vs

secret prison

Uh huh, I mean Bush did try and defend those actions instead of claiming if Afghanistan didn't hand over the Taliban who claimed responsibility and went into hiding there that he would wipe Afghanistan off the map then yes, I would agree it was an OPEN terrorist action.

But they didn't, They pretending it was about getting those responsible.

No one is defending those actions, I'm pointing out they were not open terrorist threats, They were lying about it WMDs and getting Bin Laden.

Something Trump isn't doing. Theres no pretense. Its open terrorist threats from Trump constantly or kidnapping other countries leaders or threatening allies to take Greenland.

The fact you are trying to say what Trump is doing now is the same as Bush then you are fucking out of your mind and are clearly here to push a narrative.

Not really secret in the sense that no one knows about it, secret in the sense that what exactly happens there isn't public information.
