This conversation is entirely being driven by you saying irrelevant things and using garbage sources like mediabiasfactcheck.com
Nobody is stopping you from finding sources that contradict the original posted story. Nobody is stopping you from explaining why the original posted story is wrong.
Dying on a hill about the usefulness of a glorified amazon review ass source isn't critical thinking.
Breaking news: There is a teapot orbiting Mercury.
Use your sources to prove it wrong.
I don't need sources to "debunk" a statement used for demonstrations. But you do need some argumentation to combat claims made by the original story. US troops have been known to engage in questionable behaviour in the past (vast understatement) and in terms of stealing oil, the US government has openly seized oil tankers from other states as well
We also know that various parts of the US security aparatus have peddled drugs and weapons around the world, both to raise money that can be used without congressional approval and to sow instability. For this point, you can find the stories yourself, it is an extensively covered topic.
Your distractions will not work against me. Prove there isn't a teapot orbiting Mercury. I want you to demonstrate for everyone here why that doesn't make sense.
Lmao. Liberals are hilarious. I provide you with arguments and sources that restore the discussion to the topic of the post, and instead of critiquing that, you get stuck on martian orbital teapots. This is exactly what I was talking about in my original comment. Bad faith arguers never advance the discussion in a substantial way, they only derail it with nonsense.
The dumbass doesn't know the difference between falsifiable and unfalsifiable claims. I can tell due to their constant references to Russel's teapot.
Never believe that s are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. — J. P. Satire, probably
It's been proven wrong multiple times in this thread. Keep seething.
