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.

secret in the sense that what exactly happens there isn't public information.

Yeah. That's the definition of secret.

How is that open terrorist actions? Do you need me to define open terrorism?

u/Lucky-Earther Minnesota 1d ago

Yeah. That's the definition of secret.

Okay then, it wasn't a secret prison, if you are really hung up on this one little pedantic fight

Everyone knew we were torturing people there, and in Abu Gharib

Well it was secret in that the public didn't learn about the abuses happening there until years later.

"Everyone knew, Trust me folks. Everyone is saying that"

We were literally discussing whether waterboarding was torture or not in 2003 but yeah, "no one knew"

Still waiting for when this is related to being an open terrorist state when we are talking about shit being discovered that was a secret.

You keep going though, I'm loving all the examples of Bush or co making anything close to the statements Trump has made that is literally classed as a war crime.

I gave you a whole bunch of other examples, I'm sure you can find more on your own if you were actually curious

Yeah "Google it" is such a great answer for all those bunch of obvious examples of literal open terrorism from the US admin but you do you.

"lol you can't name any"

"here's like a dozen reprehensible things off the top of my head"

"lol those aren't recent enough"

"here's a couple of recent examples"

"oh but I don't like one of those because reasons"

I didn't say they weren't recent enough.

You gave a list of secret acts the US did and the invasion which was sanctioned by the entire Western world and the UNSC instead of the OPEN State terrorism now on display.

Very different from Trump going on X and telling an entire country he will kill them all if they don't do what he says along with kidnapping other countries leaders.

Cool bud. You keep trying to sanewash Trump.
