Bush was giving a speech denouncing Russia and made a Freudian slip, calling out Putin for launching a \u201cwholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The moronic former Moron-in-Chief slowly corrected himself: \u201cI mean the Ukraine. Heh [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, in apparently a piece of self-deprecating humor, he said, \u201cIraq too. Anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crowd laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I give the guy credit for this. He said that his invasion of Iraq was \u201cwholly unjustified and brutal.\u201d I mean \u2013 imagine it. I just can\u2019t even\u2026 I don\u2019t think anyone has ever said anything like this before \u2013 jokingly admitting to launching a war that killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Arabs, and that the whole thing was totally unjustified. \u201cWholly unjustified,\u201d in fact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-253834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/george-w-puts-foot-in-mouth.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/george-w-puts-foot-in-mouth.jpeg 618w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/george-w-puts-foot-in-mouth-480x344.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 618px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But along with being the funniest thing ever, it is also enlightening. Well, not to you, dear reader \u2013 but one would think it would be enlightening to the people.<\/p>\n<p>Where does the US get off in judging Russia on anything at all? The US is the single most corrupt country that has ever existed. This is a country that literally brainwashes its own children into homosexuality, while threatening the entire world with war if they don\u2019t go along with their anal agenda.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t post this image enough \u2013 from a school in the liberated Donbass, found by Russian soldiers:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ukraine-tranny-indoctrination-kindergarten-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-253836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ukraine-tranny-indoctrination-kindergarten-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The US has only occupied the Ukraine for 8 years, and it was one of the most conservative and Christian countries in Europe (possibly the single most conservative and Christian country in Europe, although part of that is due to poverty \u2013 poor people tend to be more religious, that\u2019s just a fact). They make it a priority to get homosexuality, trannyism and race mixing into kindergartens immediately in every country they control. They were also trying to push this stuff on Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Daily reminder of the meaning of \u201cliberated by rules-based democracy\u201d:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wdrvpSfJM1w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>The thing is: Russia\u2019s invasion of the Ukraine is neither unjustified nor brutal.<\/p>\n<p>You can say it\u2019s bad or wrong or whatever \u2013 I disagree, but you can say that \u2013 but you can\u2019t say it is unjustified or brutal.<\/p>\n<p>The justification was that US\/NATO was massively arming the country, they were slaughtering people in the Donbass (refusing to abide by the Minsk Accords they signed), and they were talking about joining NATO and hosting NATO nukes on Russia\u2019s border. You can agree or disagree whether this is a proper justification, but it is definitely a justification. It\u2019s much different than faking intelligence about Saddam Hussein joining Al-Qaeda and planning to nuke America.<\/p>\n<p>It is also not brutal. If they were willing to use the kind of brutality that was used in the invasion of Iraq, this would have been over in a few days. Russia was not willing to cause mass civilian casualties. America bombed out every piece of civilian infrastructure in Baghdad before rolling the tanks in \u2013 Russia only hits military targets.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, on some level \u201call war is brutal,\u201d but then it is just a redundancy to say \u201cbrutal invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anyway \u2013 kudos to George W. Bush for finally for the first time in his life saying something true.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Holy moly.<br \/>Did he really say this?<br \/>That is f**king hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; eli friedmann (@eligit) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eligit\/status\/1527092420189601793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">honestly the best part is when he shrugged and muttered &quot;well, iraq too&quot; under his breath afterwards<\/p>\n<p>that&#39;s commitment to the flub<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; vespertine (@istanidla) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/istanidla\/status\/1527094973342044161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">the biggest Freudean Slip in all of history<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Len (@sqr729) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sqr729\/status\/1527093806646042628?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This should go in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/smithsonian?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@smithsonian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cate Long (@cate_long) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cate_long\/status\/1527094900143054848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YE7IkzoeCm\">pic.twitter.com\/YE7IkzoeCm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex (@maldingfrog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maldingfrog\/status\/1527098588232183808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When he mutters, \u201cwell, Iraq, too\u201d it kinda stops being a misstatement.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Devin Nunes\u2019 Lawyer \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@MarylouMFerrara) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarylouMFerrara\/status\/1527135110637789184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/aanglin\/george-w-bush-accuses-putin-of-launching-a-wholly-unjustified-and-brutal-invasion-of-iraq\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably for the first time in his life George W.
