I was too young at the time, but the perspective here in Tennessee at least is that the wmd allegations were seen as an American and british boondoggle. Were France, Germany, Spain all aboard that train? I thought "the west" had a half hearted push back against the idiocy. Would love to be informed before my Google searches if anyone has their 2¢.
The intelligence assessment agencies largely saw through the bullshit and said as much, but it was politically expedient for Bush, Blair and Howard to go with the lie.

Funny that you know this, but the actual court decision that should show proof of this has yet to be released. Either you are spewing hearsay, are in the intelligence community and are sharing secret information or... you are lying.
Please, do link the so-far unreleased information that the court based its decision on. I'll wait.
How about the simple fact that banning TikTok is even thought about but banning all US Social media is not? That is definitely picking sides and anti-democratic. I agree TikTok can cause problems, but no more than Facebook etc. Ban all or ban none.
And Facebook etc. are a weapon being wielded by the US. That's just as bad. If you allow one side but not the other, you are living in an authoritarian state.
Sure, if they also ban Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Otherwise, they are choosing sides. That's not a democratic system, but deciding what people can read and do (and think) as they do the exact same thing but for the “other side”.
