      That’s such a fucking stretch… It’s like saying whoever was the provider of satellite images has “participated in the US bombing” of X. Or, “the store owner participated in the killing of XYZ” because he sold someone the knife…

        If you provide military intel on targets to a military who then strike them using said intel you are absolutely an accomplice.

        “the store owner participated in the killing of XYZ” because he sold someone the knife…

        More akin to the store owner killed XYZ by pointing them out to the crazed gunman looking for them.

          If you provide intel on how to drive a car to a person who then drunkenly plows into a group of people, killing them, you are absolutely an accomplice.

            No but if you provide them the alcohol knowing they plan to drive you are. You are a debate pervert. Tying yourself in knots to justify unjustifiable evil because you benefit from it.

              Sweden didn’t provide ammunition, equipment, or men. It provided knowledge. Your example is bad.

              People like you are always hilarious. It’s like “we will not take part in the alliance because there is a potential that maybe, who knows, some of the knowledge we shared might be used incorrectly”.

              Grow up. The world is not black and white, it’s not simple, and people are not all-knowing.

                we will not take part in the alliance because there is a potential that maybe, who knows, some of the knowledge we shared might be used incorrectly

                NATO action and support has only ever been used for bad

                Grow up. The world is not black and white, it’s not simple, and people are not all-knowing.

                The world may not be black or white but that does not mean all good and bad is equivalent. The US is particularly egregious support for them since 1949 should be shameful and disencouraged where possible. The world would be net better if the US empire crumbled.

                  As we already established, you have no clue what NATO is or what it does

                  The world would be net better if the US empire crumbled.

                  No, because then the russian and Chinese empires would rear their heads. The world would be better off if ALL empires crumbled.
