“Facts” he says about hijacking yet another thread.

How, exactly, does discussing massive amounts of looting.....in a thread about looting.....hijack anything.

 

[Tigerace117]

What about the Russians? Why are you hijacking the thread?

He said he wasn’t aware of US personnel auctioning off looted material, so I informed him. You being triggered by the facts doesn’t change them.

 

[Tigerace117]

Lies.

Gee bud, then where did the fifteen thousand plus Iraqi artifacts the government did manage to recover come from? Did Martians take them?

 

[Tigerace117]

No one is surprised that a Putin’s Pal is once again trying to hijack a thread with his weeks old whines and outright lies.

No one is surprised you hurled yourself into yet another thread without bothering to become aware of the facts and have humiliated yourself as a result.....again.

 

[watsup]

I wouldn’t quite say that, but it has been well established that our looters got off scot free basically all of the time.

This is a lie.

It’s a thread about the huge amount of looting being done by the Russian army. As usual, you dishonestly hijack the thread with your whataboutism.

Hijacking of the thread.

There is no indication whatsoever that they were looted by US servicemen. Please quit your lying and hijacking.

Chicago Tribune proved otherwise bud.

It’s a thread about looting, and you are triggered because you have to face actual facts rather than the convenient fairy tales you are so desperate to cling to.

More psychological projection on your part.

Read the title and the OP. More hijacking from you.

Pointing out reality. I know that triggers you

Gee, other than the fact that the artifacts are tracked TO the servicemen or contractors. Duh.

People steal what they think can get money for. In a country like Belarus, every day stuff might fetch a good price. In Iraq, it was archaeological relics.

US to return 17,000 looted ancient artefacts to Iraq

Items smuggled out after 2003 invasion include 3,500-year-old Gilgamesh clay tablet

Americans with illegal Iraq War souvenirs largely not prosecuted

As bad as that is, I would argue that robbing and looting from the living is always worse than robbing and looting from the dead.

Triggers blah blah blah. Such juvenility from you constantly.

Sounds like you should crawl back under your rock then.

BELARUS.

I don’t know about that. I feel like something of immense cultural value, like a sculpture or other archaeological relic, is a lot more important than, like, a household appliance or something.

Oh look, you STILL don’t have an actual argument.

Maybe. But if American GIs were stealing Iraqi civilians' meager food supplies, their cars, or household appliances to sell I would find that far more disgusting (especially in a country that had experienced famine).

Though in this case, the Russians seem to have murdered many of the owners of the items which they stole. So in many cases there is no one to miss them.

Nor were they executing people in order to rob them of their cell phones.

It’s a clear cut example of how putting on a uniform doesn’t make a saint out of anyone. If you were willing to kill to get someone’s stuff in the civilian world, well.....you’ll be willing to do it in another country too. Another reason why conscription got scrapped.

Of course, we’ve also had plenty of cases of guys in Iraq or Afghanistan deciding to form their own impromptu death squads(the fact that NOBODY served jail time for Haditha still boggles my mind). So I suppose you never really know.

Yes, that’s what the Russians are doing.
