  1.  @daepicpigeon3274  The 80s saw the U.S. invade two countries that had Vietnam like terrain features. Both invasions were successful.

  2. @Yal Bad  ok think about it, if insurgents are using a hospital as a military base, would you attack it? Or let it continue to be a problem that will impact the future negatively?

  3. What if the war was built on better justifications and the occupation would be better? Would you still call the invasion illegal or as a success for the US

  4. I think this war was for the better for Iraq, although the execution of the operation went bad

  5. @zulu alpha  cite the source of 1 million civilian deaths for me, and the origin of the source destroys your credibility. You also fail to note the sectarian violence going on in Iraq, which is the Shia Sunni divise and the Iraqi Civil War.

  6. @King Ta Challa  ok sure the Dollar lost 99% of its value over its lifespan, but that applies to a lot of other current currencies as well, but to say most countries are switching to the yuan is both and overstatement and the countries that side with it are not major countries except for like Russia.

  7. ​​@Saber compare that to what Russia is doing in Bakhmut, and tell me what that city and other Russian bombed cities look like. Now, tell me what many U.S. bombed countries look like.

  8. @reject satanism  here's an uncomfortable question. Would everyone will have the same opinion if the invasion was built on better justifications and the occupation wasn't disastrous?

  9.  @yalbad5160  Mariupol, Volnovakha, Rubizhne, Popasna, Lyman, Sievierodonetsk, Mykolayiv and Zaporizhzhia compared to the cities you mentioned are significantly different in terms of battle damage. Fallujah and Mosul after U.S. invasion and battle look way more intact than the cities I mentioned. Mosul, after ISIS went into massive disarray, but that battle was led by the Iraqis. Raqqua was led by Syrians backed by Russians. Not to mention Russia did some major interventions inside Syria compared to the American's intervention there. Sirte, that city also went south from Islamic uprising and wasn't even invaded by U.S. troops in the first place. Although it had been bombed by the U.S., it doesn't look as leveled as Mariupol. The cities I mentioned, are from one Russian started conflict, imagine all the other ones Russia started in the new millennia

  10.  @OneCash  Looking at Iraq, it doesn't seem you're right as they are more closer to the west and are arguably more free than under Saddam. In Syria, the Russians ran the operation with the U.S. as a neutral in the conflict. You fail to mention Korea, because it was successful. Also I ask, if you were fighting for the U.S. and the insurgency were hiding in civilian populations, would you suspect the civilians as insurgents ready to kill you and your brothers in arms?

  11. @Sulla the Hutt  sure, I need em stocks to go up and make sure Russia is kept in 3rd world conditions or have a new president.

  12. @Sulla the Hutt  and where did that 1 million figure come from? An opinion survey, but they are grateful regardless. As the national army of Iraq has the dedication to solve its own problems. They took care of Mosul by themselves mostly, which is a massive victory for them. You think too short. Many people think that way. They just need to get the kick to get over the hump of issues and think long term, to come together, and be something better. Iraq used to be one of the fastest growing countries until Saddam took power. This new Iraq might grow to live the same successes of the 70s.

  13. @Elmo  tbh, the US would invade Iraq regardless if we didn't invade it in 2003. The Arab spring would force American troops into countries affected by it. Involvement in Iraq was simply inevitable.

  14.  @travismartinson1813  Prob too much blaming on America for your problems.

  15. ​ @SimoN-vf8ps  "I colonized Ukraine in self defense"

  16. Majority of Iraqi civilian deaths can be mostly attributed to sectarian violence and racism between which version of Islam was right.
    8
  17.  @yalbad5160  It's universally bad, but here's the thing with Russia, they indiscriminately bomb entire city blocks without a care in the world. Meanwhile the U.S. most of the time clears the building with troops and not bombs. Compare many Iraqi and Afghan cities after a battle to Ukrainian, Georgian, and Chechenian cities after a battle. You'd see a great difference.

  18.  @IffyEdem  then explain why violence is down in Iraq and why the Iraqi military can actually do their job
    8
  19. ​ @muhammadbilalawan6182  So, idk what pot you be smoking, but uh, how are you not seeing the cities in Ukraine getting leveled by the daily? Ukraine literally looks like colorized WW2 on the Eastern Front with more modernized equipment.

  20.  @sullathehutt7720  lol, the Vietnamese government claimed that 1 million of their soldiers have died lol, how you feelin about invading Afghanistan and losing 2x faster with more casualties?
    8
  21.  @sullathehutt7720  you're my entertainment of the day, trolls trolling me are very interesting. To see what cope fueled excuses people like you make adds to my knowledge of what to expect. You my friend are a source of information.

  22. ​ @j4genius961 The U.S. is already fighting Russia in a sense with Ukraine. Ukraine is an inferior version of a western army, and since Russia is struggling there, if they were to face the U.S., they would get blown away.

  23. @Muhammad Bilal Awan  lol, funny you mention Syria, guess you are a bit slow, so I will dumb it down a bit, the Russians straight up intervened in Syria, with troops and funding, causing loads of destruction in Syria. Compare Russian liberation in Syria to U.S. liberation of Iraq. One side has more destroyed cities, and one is less developed. Syria is still in conflict. ThebSyrian Civil War still continues, although in limited capacity, and as of March 16, 2023, according to Reuters, Assad keeps asking for more Russian troops in Syria. Compare Syrian reconstruction to Iraqi reconstruction, one looks more delayed and slow, any the other has some actual progress going. Meanwhile, for Latin America, the U.S. didn't intervene in anything besides Grenada and Panama in its post WW2 Phase. Look how those two countries came out. Now Yemen, U.S. didn't invade much there, and we are talking about destruction that major superpowers started. I'm pretty sure the U.S. didn't start a Yemen conflict. Syria wasn't started by Russia, I was going against the part of the U.S. wasn't doing anything in reconstruction, but my my, the cities in Syria are like Mosul x10. So yeah, what kind of legalized Cannibis you smoking? Pretty sure it's something that you should get off of, Coach Red Pill will be good friends with yah.

  24. @D San  then explain why Saddam was still having to brutally crush rebellions. He literally built luxury palaces during the sanctions.

  25.  @josefmengele181  Last time I checked the USD is still the strongest
    7
  26.  @quan-uo5ws  The U.S. was actually rebuilding the cities it captured during the invasion, I am pretty sure the daily suicide bombing raids on construction cites surely helped.

  27. Iraqis are horrible at smoking Americans lol

  28. even though the light has already been shined since 2003

  29.  @IffyEdem  Change takes time, the U.S. is stabilizing with less brutal methods unlike the UK

  30.  @horrorfan1978  I agree
    6
  31. @lol silesia  yet my points are valid. Such as the civilian death claim. Many people bringing this up fail to recognize the sectarian violence in Iraq, and later comments are just repetitive. Not to mention your wording about Russia was off and you didn't provide further context which is why I commented about your statement.

  32. @Sulla the Hutt  Saddam broke his country by military overspending. He turned a prosperous 70s Iraq into a degrading dictatorship 80s Iraq. Nowadays, things are better for Iraq, and the country is rebuilding, and construction sites aren't getting bombed daily like they used to. Like I said, better choices.

  33. ​ @sullathehutt7720  you mean the ANA couldn't keep the Taliban out lol

  34. @FS Explorer  uh buddy, you know China invaded Tibet and some other countries in the 20th century. Not to mention using Islamists for extremely cheap labor and utilizing a police state in Tibet, Xinjiang, and more.

  35.  @SouIlIl  I mean hey, I just love to challenge other people's hypocrisies and widely disproven claims. The Iraq War has been done already, the only GOOD thing to do right now is is to manage the conflict properly.
    5
  36. @Hunner At-touaregi  just curious. I love the hypocrisy being spouted by the people in this comment thread. All these talks about how the U.S. is so bad. Meanwhile, they don't talk about how Saddam operated like Hitler and Stalin. Gassing of kurds akin to the gassing of jews in ww2, Saddam's high levels of paranoia similar to Stalin, both rules harshly, and much more.

  37.  @MrAlepedroza  The North of Iraq is stabilized and ran by the Kurdish.

  38.  @garthalmunemuralias9101  "our history books should teach these not just 1 page!" you know we should, but sadly, we don't got room, I did APUSH, we barely covered it lol, yet I learned about the Iran Contra Affair.

  39. ​ @spinekingjrgensen5779 because every insurgent that died can be written down as a "civilian." Which further inspires the insurgents.

  40. @chripian flopez I would like context of which country is bombing who, the city, and the building. Along with the era and if there is a battle taking place there or not.

  41.  @sullathehutt7720  Novorossiya after the USSR dissolved voted to stay in Ukraine. Also, Iraqis never beaten the US in the first place? If you think so, name some major battles that the U.S. lost that dictated how the conflict in Iraq turned out.

  42.  @dumpster-kun7132  the news isn't sympathetic towards the U.S. look at Tucker Carlson

  43.  Zoomer Stasi  Wagner Group is pretty large

  45. @Dumpster-Kun  business didn't go up in Iraq tho, not to mention the 2008 Recession happened and obliterated many cities, aka places where companies are at that make money. Tucker has a hard on for Russia and China and it's been noted for like a long time already.

  46.  @obrnenydrevokocur9344  Arab Spring screwed Libya and Syria HARD.
    4
  47. @ObrnenyDrevokocur  sure the U.S. caused a power vacuum in Iraq, yet I say weather the U.S. invaded Iraq or not, it wouldn't matter as the Arab spring would topple Saddam's regime.

  48.  @es0teric76  I don't think it's the leadership that caused the problem, it was the Iraqi sectarian violence that led to a lost cause with occupation. It's a very well known fact that Shias and Sunnis had major issues with each other. Reading a memoir by Evan Wright wrote about the great amount of sectarian violence amongst the people. Not to mention during the September 30 Baghdad Bombings of 2004, saw a newly made water treatment facility got bombed on opening day when the soldiers who helped make it were passing out candies and stuff to the people. Many people who received funding usually pocketed the funding for themselves, even Iraqi government officials. It wasn't till some years of hard conflict slapped Iraqis in the face to finally nationalize and become united against ISIS. Notice how from 2014 onwards, the U.S. wasn't really fighting in Iraq.

  49.  @kingtachalla6181  Both countries had insanely dense jungles, both had difficult terrain features, both tried their hand at guerilla warfare, but both failed to kick the U.S. out forcefully.

  50. @black etruscan   in this generation, people complain without doing themselves. The coalminers and factory workers in the 1900s would be very ashamed of what the generation has come to be. The education system has its faults, yet I do not see why the education system can not train many new and young Americans to train towards high paying jobs that soon lead to political power.
