America and Britian ,under Labour too, were keen on regime change. Zimbabwe is right up there with our greatest scandals | |

Zimbabwe.A country we should have "invaded". on 20:33 - Sep 13 by perchrockjack | I find it incredible this country wasn't "invaded" and Mugabe dealt with. Here was a former British country,a wealthy one,given independence under a man who went on to butcher thousands of his opponents .A man who raped ,literally people and farms of wealth and gave the proceeds to his cronies. He was feted under Thatcher . We were quite happy to invade and replace leaders of countries USA didnt like or Saddam but did zero against Bob. Our greatest shame ,no doubt |
Afghanistan and Iraq, and you want Britain and the usa to invade another country? Ffs. | | | |
Zimbabwe.A country we should have "invaded". on 17:13 - Sep 15 with 729 views | perchrockjack | No Bg. Read what I post,exactly what is posted. I posed the question and suggested the opinion that invading it COULD be justified morally,using the priniciple that arch Humanist Clinton used before he authorised invasion of countries in Balkans with a butcher -a proven war criminal i/c. I forgive you though as you seem a decent sort. | |

Unfortunately perch, humanitarian concerns doesn't feature near the top of the list when it comes to foreign incursions. It's more accurate I'd suggest that they don't make the list at all. [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 23:07]

Zimbabwe.A country we should have "invaded". on 17:24 - Sep 15 with 712 views | perchrockjack | Fair point and thank you for making it. Without doubt, we are cursed from our past. My generation were brought up to basically believe the British Empire was the greatest on earth and Im sure France,Netherlands,Portugal and even the filthy Belgian colonialist thought the same. Consequently, we were mainly racist and sexist too as woman s place was like the German mantra,Kinder,Kucher,Kirche. Now, we are trying to make good. The edifices of our "superiority" is all over the place. It stinks | |

And British soldiers and innocent civilians have lost their lives over many years because of it | |

Going in, to others countries has in recent times been a disaster no matter what if any morality was intended. We have learnt that the said countries situation becomes even more desperate after invasion and then after the troops are with drawn. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

You're looking at it from a reasoned, humane perspective though mate. Consider how much the 'War on Terror' (for example) has cost so far. $6 trillion and counting. https://www.businessinsider.com/the-war-on-terror-has-cost-the-us-nearly-6-trill Then consider how much profit there is to be made. A racket, in fact, as memorably coined by Major General Smedley Butler. https://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html The taxpayer foots the bill and private hands run off with the spoils. And not a single f*ck is given about the misery caused in the meantime. It's evil; absolutely diabolical. [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 18:00]

Zimbabwe.A country we should have "invaded". on 17:59 - Sep 15 with 668 views | perchrockjack | Agreed BUT I raise the point it is difficult to see a country and hundreds of thousands of people butchered as were the opponents of Bob and as for Milosevic ,basically any muslim or Croat. We can't all be like Switzerland and be "neutral" whilst at the same time benefiting from war,as they always do. | |
