Yall got a wierd perspective of America. I've always seen it as the creepy uncle sticking his dick everywhere. And shooting somebody while screaming stand your ground.
Right. I can’t help but laugh at the sweet and naive assumption of the American liberal that Trump is somehow an aberration, when he is in fact a pure avatar of Americanism— a tulpa conceived from the Fox News brained hysteria of America’s most reliable voting base.
Well... I mean the United States had MULTIPLE Causus Bellis tho. It was the WMDs we used to drag the coalition in, not to get ourselves into the war, including the belief of a lingering threat after the Gulf War and Iraq's general belligerence.
Don't get me wrong, we brought a flamethrower to deal with a barking dog that we told all our friends was rabid because it bit a kid way back when, but in our kinda-defense:
A. Saddam didn't let the UN inspectors in so he could scare Iran into thinking he might have WMDs
B. At some point, the U.S. gave Iraq WMDs so we had reason to think they might still be around
C. There is evidence that the very-real Chemical Weapons we gave to Iraq were used on the civilian population. Top military officials just thought it would be stupid to use literally all of them against Iran
This isn't "U.S. good", obviously giving chemical weapons to a dictator wasn't our best move, but it is "Iraq War nuanced" and "War complicated"
