Distract and divert: How Tony Blair screens his role in Iraq War

20 years on, #Blair lashes out at #Putin to divert public attention from the atrocities he was behind in #Iraq, not to mention his role in the #Afghanistan war.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
This month, twenty years ago, the #UnitedStates initiated a large military invasion of #Iraq alongside its ally, the #UK, without a @UN mandate and in defiance of some of the biggest demonstrations ever seen in Britain.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
It was the start of an eight-year occupation that resulted in the deaths of more than one million Iraqi.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
Former #US President George #Bush and former #UK Prime minister Tony #Blair chiefly orchestrated the horrors of the invasion and the occupation, which are, nowadays, an unavoidable part of #Iraqis' daily life.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
Today, shameless Tony #Blair, the PM who led the #UK into a cruel war, is attempting to escape his bloody role and divert public attention by deceitfully lashing out at #Russian President Vladimir Putin.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
Tony #Blair also joined #US President George W. #Bush in invading #Afghanistan under the guise of overthrowing the #Taliban.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
The #UnitedStates and its various western allies, including the #UnitedKingdom, are behind many war crimes in #Afghanistan, which they committed as part of their 20-year-long occupation of the country.
@IntlCrimCourt
en.mdn.tv/74AB
The #UnitedKingdom helped #Washington do its bidding in #Afghanistan, and #British troops are just as complicit in all the crimes and the chaotic withdrawal as their #American counterparts.
