      Lol: “The State Department on Friday made clear that the American military will not abide by the requests of the Iraqi government to leave the country and instead will stay indefinitely.”

          The previous government had running infrastructure, hospitals, electricity, clean water, etc. before the American regime bombed them and plunged the region into chaos so as to install puppet governments that allowed the U.S regime to pillage their resources and inflate the stock portfolios of the war criminals that run the American regime.

          Zero justification for supporting the actions of the American terrorist regime.

                  Right, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden’s bullets, bombs, and depleted uranium thatve killed and displaced millions of Iraqi citizens are obviously much better.

              You’re really conflating seething hatred for America destroying a country with praise for Saddam Hussein? You reactionaries really can’t see in anything beyond binary terms, can you?

              Saddam was fucking atrocious, but Iraq had working infrastructure under him (and his rise to power was aided by the US, so he was another pawn)

              They had that torn apart courtesy of America and are only just building back

                No I got no love for what the US and the allies did to Iraq, but what good is the the running water they had for the dead Kurds? From the start, my argument was they are better off now. Not that they are in paradise now.

                  Better off how? I pointed out their power grid is shit, their water table is contaminated, their buildings are bombed out, and everything but their oil has been privatized. Materially, they’re fucked 3 ways to Sunday.

                  If you’re trying to still make digs about ‘supporting Saddam killing Kurds’ or w/e, I’ll point out again that Saddam had the full backing of the US until Kuwait

                  And you can get rid of people like him without invading the country and tearing it asunder

                    It’s true, the number of times i heard “glass the middle east” as a child comprehensively destroyed for me the idea of america as a force for anything good, and of americans as an aggregate being anything but a swarm of stupid bloodthirsty assholes once they get activated.

                    I have hope for the individuals, but as a collective identity? No more American, the world does not need American.

                  They don’t have functional infrastructure 20 years after the war and they did under Saddam. You really think the US was interested in anything besides cannibalizing the country for resources?

                  edit: Oh yeah, they were interested in one other thing: handing lucrative ”rebuilding” contracts to corporations like Halliburton with direct ties to the Bush admin.

              “Hey here’s some facts about how life was measurably better before we bombed the shit out of Iraq”.
              “Whatever you love Saddam”.

              You would have supported the Iraq war. You would have supported the Vietnam war. You would have supported the Kent state shootings. You would have eagerly reported local communists during the red scare.

          Iraq’s power grid took until 2008 to return to the capacity it could generate prior to the first Gulf War over a decade and a half prior where the US needlessly destroyed their power grid, and it still can’t meet demand in the summer

          It has depleted uranium in it’s groundwater from American munitions

          It had ISIS/ISIL attack it

          Millions were displaced, hundreds of thousands were killed, and it got privatized into oblivion by IMF/World bank loans with greedy contractors like Halliburton licking their chops

          I’m pretty sure it is much worse then it was pre American involvement

          There’s plenty of shitty government around the world, including a bunch the US actively supports. It doesn’t give the US the right to kick the door down and subject the people there to more instability and violence to further their geopolitical goals under the guise of “humanitarianism”.

          So if Russia installs a regime better than the current one, their invasion is ok then?

          Also lol at not knowing the USA installed the Iraqi government.

          The topic is foreign interventions, Syria is about as relevant to that topic as you can get. You know this, you are intentionally avoiding engaging with his question cuz you know you don’t have an answer that won’t come off as a massive fucking stretch.

      Like compare and contrast three events:

      Maidan - january 6 in usa

      Syrian civil war - ukraine civil war

      Invasion of ukraine - invasion of sector gaza

      Do the internal logic of events is similar? Which ones gets sanctioned, and which ones gets ignored?
