and a worthy addition also from RT:

Fabricated war: 20 years on from Colin Powell's lies at UN on Iraq WMDs
https://rumble.com/v28eppk-fabricated-war-20-years-on-from-colin-powells-lies-at-un-on-iraq-wmds.html

including:

* former US Sec. of State Colin Powell's excuse for his January 2003 lecture of lies 
where he later said that he relied on "the best information that the Central 
Intelligence Agency made available" to him. He paid no real price for that "blot" on 
his career (as he would later say in a September 2005 TV interview). Powell died aged 
84 on October 18, 2021.

* former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's July 2016 speech where he said "I did 
not mislead this country. I made the decision in good faith I had at the time. And I 
believe that it is better that we took that decision...". Today Blair is alive and 
promoting a digital identity-based scheme. It seems that he too has met with no real 
punishment for his role in getting that invasion and occupation going.
