Yep, just like all leaders who led us into unnecessary wars. Oh wait, that would be just about everyone in recent history in both UK and US except... umm.... damn.... Trump. I am no Trump supporter but the truth has to be said. How anyone can talk about the Kuwait / Saddam episode in terms of war criminals whilst forgetting we were scammed into that war by a deliberate WMD ruse, by our leaders, is beyond me. And we even have arguably the biggest truth teller Assange, still rotting in jail.
No wonder our planet is dying, because we can lie with impunity, including even to ourselves, but get jailed, or even killed, for telling the truth, no one knows what the fuck to believe.
We are literally terrorised into ignorance by our own leaders.
