There's a trend going on in both England & the US, that congress or the opposition should not be informed about war intentions, because "Muslim sympathizers"

So when the Trump admin. decided to drag the country into the next and most deadliest war of possibly our generation, they did so without informing congress, but did inform Israel, who coincidentally not so long ago led them to cancel an internationally made agreement in the p5+1 and Iran.

Same goes for the English, Johnson has yet to make any announcements or what England's official stance is, the last country in Europe btw to not do so. Many others have already called it a flagrant violation of int order and Iraqi security.
The justification many Trumpets and Conservatives/Pro-Brexit voters have for keeping the rest of the entire country, civilian and political, is that "the Muslims" would compromise things and that the government has no other choice to do these things without informing the country.

But please indulge me; Leave aside the gross discrimination and post WW2-like fascists like hatred against a religious minority in those countries, but is Boris Johnson "A Muslim" as well?
Yes that's right, England themselves, the Conservatives, who have hundreds of soldiers and citizens scattered around Baghdad under their order and responsibility, were not informed whatsoever.

I have personally not seen these types of propaganda and extremist views since the illegal Iraq war of 2003, but the extreme levels of today are surpassing even that. The shocking imagery and exaggerated claims more resemble the Nazi propaganda machine then anything else.

Guess that old saying proved itself to be true again;
In war, the first casualty is the truth. The bigger the war, the bigger the lies
