The death of 3 U.S. service members is forcing President Joe Biden to weigh military action that could carry risks of escalation and heavy political consequences.
They often crumble from internal sectarian violence. Or get overrun by Russian sock-puppets barrel-bombing and using chemical weapons against their own people. But ah, yes, while I opposed the Iraq invasion, Saddam was clearly a great guy and Iraq was thriving, right? Or how about Iran? No bases there! I’m sure the women just love their bastion of freedom from their US overlords, lol.
20 years more of Saddam rule? As much as the pretense for going into Iraq was bogus, the oppressed Shia population would beg to differ.
You’re the one who told me to look at countries that don’t coordinate with the US. I did. I’m not impressed. I look at countries like Germany today and by contrast, I am impressed. So are you impressed by Iran, Russia, North Korea? Or do you disagree with the likes of Jordan openly cooperating with the US to contain ISIS?
You can look at what happens to countries that don’t “coordinate”

Iraq was better off before the invasion. Fact.
Also, do you think women get freedom when the US installs bases?

One of the dumbest fucking comments I’ve ever read on this platform…
Iraq can only finally start to recover now that it is asking the US military to leave.
Oh, but the US won’t leave. You okay with that too?
Yeah I am. Have you been there? They’re not ready… exhibit a: every article about US bombings this week…
They don’t want us there! What right do we have to decide if they are “ready”?
That’s some white man’s burden bullshit.
