The fact remains that the source for this claim is bro trust me. Nobody should care who I trust. But I’m sure most people can see that “bro trust me” is completely useless. I will believe it when I see evidence
Nobody should believe anything because of a “bro trust me” and if you do you have a serious problem. I know nobody cares if I believe it, I am not stupid
Scepticism in the face of a lack of evidence, especially for a claim from one side involved in a war, is not only a good idea but necessary. Would you just believe a Russian claim about Ukranian schools, no questions asked?
If you look at documents at the time, intelligence agencies said there was a possibility he had WMDs, but there was no conclusive evidence nor assurances.
The Bush Administration lied to Congress and said we knew for sure they had them.
Edit: It’s good to have healthy skepticism – it hasn’t escaped my notice that the majority of evidence behind this claim is coming from Israel. I don’t think it’s wise to deem it automatically false however, and pulling funding is premature. There should however be a serious internal investigation. And if they already have smoking guns, the UN should release them in the interest of transparency.
Apologies for starting out my comment as a bit of a jackass.
I don’t think anyone really cares who you trust.

You are not asked to believe it.

Denual is a refuge for weak arguments. Obviously the the countries that control fund8ng are not in denial.
Bruh, “above our paygrade” is a prime example of denial, deflection, and appeal to authority.
Another way of saying I do not have the information that the various countries have is not denial.

You can be a skeptic as much as you want. But, the funding countries aren’t. The UN having already fired personnel aren’t.
Never mind
Than we won’t support our governments for blindly believing it.
They have the information so they’re not blind. At least not as blind as you.
So “trust me bro” then?
Yeah sure, like they had the information on Saddams WMDs!
Yeah, or about Russia invading Ukraine! Wait.
