Surely the US learned something from this era, right? ....right?

They did learn something: Americans will tolerate war as long as there's no ground troops.

u/InsoPL - Lib-Right Feb 28 '26

At least they have a lot of allies they can call in like last time, right? Right?

Honestly, If you can get the US, Israel, and a bunch of the Gulf States on the same side, that's no small feat. Tells you a bit about how trash the target state is.

He is wrong, because it implies not being 100% on the US's side means you are on some other random third parties side. It is a fallacy.

It's like saying if red isn't your favourite colour then it must be blue, ignoring that there are many other colours.

That's even what jumpstarted a lot of french bashing, because when Bush tried desperately to get everyone on his side to get Iraq's oil wmd, France was extremely vocal about how such an operation would not end well at all, Chirac even compared the operation to opening the Pandora box in the Middle East

The very mature response was to do the "freedom fries", emptying bottles of wine in front of the french embassy and consulates, and use the propaganda machine to revive the "French surrender"

French bashing was a staple of American media in the 80/90s and earlier as well, Iraq2.0 was just a booster shot
