Forgiveness can be great in certain circumstances, but it has to come from the victims, not from the perpetrators, enablers and benefactors of the violence (Democrats).
even if the people of iraq and afghanistan and his domestic victims all forgave him he shouldn't be a candidate for county comptroller, let alone a senator. former troops can clean toilets for a living, and mercenaries can do it without ppe.
Damn, my bad. I thought she had a darker skin. In my defense, it's kind of hard to tell in a back alley with no lights. /s
Well I really don't get it, analysing the past behaviour of the mistakes nature made, also called Usians, a sexual abuser has a higher chance of winning elections no? The problem is that he didn't abuse a minor? I'm confused.
if you want to have political power here you have to be able to get away with abuse. he's fumbling the get away with part
I see he just sucks at been garbage, many such cases.
Wow this is so ruthless thank you for blessing me with the opportunity to experience this comment
USA is threatening military action in my country so I'm already pumping my hatred. In the end of the year I'll look like Palpatine.
I'm sorry about the cortisol, comrade. I hope the empire falls before they do more damage.
I'm going to hold off commenting on this until my youtuber tells me what to think
the youtuber:
Lmao remember when this was funny because the ease at which the blond lady dismissed things she didn't care about was indication that she was not the progressive person she claimed to be?
guys, raping, war crimes, nazi tattoos... are only bad when they do it...
Liberals are just as spineless as conservatives. they treat politics as a sport.
This meme is entirely on point and it's upsetting people who genuinely don't care about war crimes
"What's next? Saying the military is bad?!??!"
"Yes."
Alright, I'll bite. Is there any proof he killed brown children?
The dude was using a makeshift mortar to fire at densely populated urban areas even though using mortars where forbidden because the amount of civilians that got murdered was to high even for the us army standards. At the absolute provable minimum he risked children getting killed or injured even after ordered not to do so

Reading it, it seems more careless and stupid rather than malicious. But, I still didn't know this before and I appreciate it.
Specifically defying lawful orders in order to commit bonus war crimes isn't careless
He participated in the Fallujah and Ramadi massacares and was a concentration camp guard at Abu Graib and joined Blackwater.
Why don't you ask for proof of him raping that white woman?
I see he was deployed at those times (not that he participated necessarily), don't see anything about Abu Graib, and yes obviously he joined Blackwater. That doesn't mean those things aren't true obviously.
The woman did provide proof.
I just want to know what's real and not the worst possible made up scenario.
The woman provided recipts.
The dead can't provide receipts, how neat!
And the military also does what it can to cover up for war crimes; look up the immediate aftermath of basically any war crime
In the aftermath of the Haditha massacre for example, the military claimed a blast killed 15 civilians and military thugs killed eight insurgents
Did she provide video evidence?
Are you sure the video wasn't AI?
Come on just keep doubling down like you've been doing for his war crimes against brown children.
I am not aware of any specific war crimes he participated in. I mistakenly gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he had grown from the kind of uncritical person who joins the military, hence leaving it and running on anti-imperialist policy.
But the rape was in 2023.
He bragged on his reddit about firing mortar rounds into civilian areas, said he joined the Marines in order to kill, later became a Blackwater Merc
https://themainemonitor.org/platner-reddit-comments/ <- includes a searchable database of his comments, plenty of other bad stuff in there too if the SA and Murder didn't already give you a read on who he is: racism, homophobia, ableism etc
you are literally the meme, gringos are so fucked in the brain its scary. you are scary.
It's not unreasonable to see a guy who comes away from the military saying "Hey this is bad and we shouldn't do it" and be easily led to believe the guy saw what he was a part of and understood it needs to be stopped. Every successful revolution includes former soldiers of the regime who've realized they were on the wrong side.
It's not unreasonable to see a guy who comes away from the military saying "Hey this is bad and we shouldn't do it"
He didn't do that. He bragged about his atrocities as an 'excellent experience'.
Why are you still trying to pretend that he showed any sort of remorse?
He returned from his tour.........
And then did another tour
And then did another tour
And then did another tour
And then joined Blackwater....
that is not even the case. in most marxist leninist states former imperial/royalist army officials were either kept because of greater forces, purged, or entirely dismantled through the ongoing period of revolution/guerrilla warfare. im not going to say it never happened but it's not like you shouldn't treat former (to say the least) participants in war crimes against the proletariat with nothing but the ultimate suspicion.
He was in the military for eight (8) years! He went on three (3) tours to Iraq that included Ramadi, Fallujah and Abu Ghraib! When asked why he said "he wanted to play soldier" and "he wanted go on an adventure and kill some people"! He went on another tour in Afghanistan and then once more as a blackwater (constellis) merc! I have never seen him repentant or apologetic of what he did and support.
Iraq. The entirety of Iraq was a war crime. Collin Powell even came out and said there were never weapons of mass destruction and they lied to the UN. He gave that interview with the Guardian early in 2004. Fallujah was in November later that year.
The US lied about WMDs and illegally invaded a country that had neither attacked them or an ally, nor was it at war with any other country. That's a war crime and why Germany had the Treaty of Versailles placed on it for invading neutral Belgium.
Let's not forget he willingly did multiple tours, and some for potentially black water (a war crime loving group)
Yup. I was just pointing out how there were no doubts in 2004 the Iraq War was illegal. Platner joined up after then-secretary Powell confessed the whole thing was a sham. It's not like he joined up on September 12th. 2001, naively believing the US was a force for good. He joined when everyone knew what was being done to the Middle East was a crime.
This was him in 2020.
The rape was in 2023. It's 2026 now. Like who cares, the past is the past. He has grown past it right? He also said people need to respect women during his campaign and rape is bad. Why won't you accept his personal growth?!
The Democratic Party people are so brain dead.
