Just Plain Ridiculous!!
I'm not being ridiculous. Your response is completely wrong in respect of what I argued. Hitler was interfering in other countries and was intent in going further. Of course action had to be taken against him. However if you are going to argue everyone was right to invade Iraq or that we are all in Syria "to help their people" then I believe you'd be wrong.
You also cannot just take examples of "mistakes" by the US and dismiss them with a virtual 'Oops!'.
These big brave, oh so virtuous politicians who would declare war against this or that leader in another country do so for their own selfish reasons. Let's take Syria. Our lot will say "Oh but Assad was gassing tens of thousands of his own people so we need to stand up for these poor Syrian folks and help them get rid of this despot". Ok very noble I'm sure, but what if Xi Jinping gassed a million of his people? Everyone ready to invade China? Doubtful in the extreme. Which means we are either hypocrites just or plain flat track bullies who don't have the guts to take on someone who can fight back.
Or indeed, why are we not all in North Korea helping out people who are being starved by their own nutball? How about going to Ukraine to aid their fight against Putin? Are they not worthy of our assistance? Or are we cowards who are afraid of Russia?
At the same time as being outraged by some atrocities in various parts of the world we are best of friends with the Saudis whose human rights violations are well enough known.
I could go on but it's all bullshit as is the assertion that this particular idiot would rather be ruled by Hitler or the likes.

Is Boris Johnson British Trump? Evidence suggests otherwise.
The guy is a serial liar, like Trump. The guy is racist, like Trump. The guy has no morals or ethics, like Trump. He is completely egocentric, like Trump. The main difference between them is that Johnson is highly intelligent. We have a UK PM who has called Commonwealth country citizens "flag waving piccaninnies". That single comment alone without going into his myriad of insults against other groups makes him 100% unsuitable to be leader of this country. He's a racist but that's ok with folk who eagerly await their tax cut. That makes it all ok in the end.
