    Kerry to Russia: You don't invade a country on a trumped up pretext

    This is a clip of John Kerry on Face the Nation that I keep seeing repeated on the news, with no one pointing out the obvious and utter hypocrisy:

    "You just don't, in the 21st century, behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on a completely trumped up pretext."

    Didn't he vote in favor of invading Iraq? Didn't he say this when speaking in favor of invading:

    "According to the CIA's report, all U.S. intelligence experts agree that Iraq is seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop nuclear weapons."

    Didn't Kerry support bombing Libya on the claim that it was to protect civilians? Didn't Kerry support bombing Syria on the claim it was to protect civilians?

    Went to Glenn Greenwald's Twitter to see if he was on this, and sure enough he retweeted this:

    Wow... uh, John Kerry... lol!

    They have to invade every country under ANY pretext to protect their rigged counterfeited Petro Dollar reserve currency.


    Boy, is the U.S. full of morons and hypocrites or what?

    It's only ok when the US does the trumping right?

    I would pay to see Kerry put on the spot and have to explain why the US invading Iraq is ok and Russia invading Ukraine isn't.

    "you just don't invade another country on phony pretext" - Kerry (i kid you not)

    And the reason for this, David, is because you just don't invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests.
    John Kerry on Meet The Press this AM discussing Crimea.

    He was for it before he was against it.

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    Oh...my...God...hahahahahahaha

    He sure speaks from a position of moral authority on the matter, doesn't he? I mean, I know that Kerry knows, and he's laughing too (for entirely different reasons from us), but...still...LOL.

    self-deception can be tremendously powerful, in the elderly often to the point of complete insanity. John Kerry looks so tired. I wonder if he remembers where he lives?

    Wait, wait... STOP THE PRESS... HOLD THE PHONE... BACK UP...

    Are you telling me... that a statist politician (but I repeat myself)... has a DOUBLE STANDARD... in matters of... policy?!??!?! *gasp*

    How could this possibly be?!?!?! THIS IS NEW INFORMATION!

    Radical in the sense of being in total, root-and-branch opposition to the existing political system and to the State itself. Radical in the sense of having integrated intellectual opposition to the State with a gut hatred of its pervasive and organized system of crime and injustice. Radical in the sense of a deep commitment to the spirit of liberty and anti-statism that integrates reason and emotion, heart and soul. - M. Rothbard

    Wow... To think Kerry was so close to being president at one point. Holy $#@!. It seems every comment Kerry makes regarding foreign affairs is dog poop sitting out on a summer day.

    It is new information for a lot of people that only watch TV. We thankfully have the internet now to condemn their bull$#@! and spread it far and wide. Social media wasn't nearly as powerful during the Iraq build-up as it is now.
