  19.  @StephenLewisful  "describes White Christian Nationalism here,' Fun fact, I'm Chinese and Protestant, "We have an interest in controlling who owns the oil in the region" So, the myth of blood for oil or “Bush lied, People Died” are two examples of the ultimate in human stupidity. Any and all actions taken by Coalition troops to secure oil platforms were done with the idea that a post-Saddam Iraq would have to have a viable economy. In Iraq, oil production was the key to that idea. Thus US, British, Australian, and Polish troops secured oil production facilities as soon as they could. THAT is why those facilities were secured. After, international oil companies all bid on Iraqi oil deals in a very free-market way. In fact, American oil companies were at a bit of a disadvantage bc of sanctions and the colonial history of Iraq. Plus the the only concern for oil facilities was based on how much AQI and friends (later ISIS) were able to extort from drivers and refineries to finance their Islamist insurgency and environmental damage similar to those like the Kuwaiti Oil Fires. Not to mention the great risk of invading a country for oil as you lose more than what you are trying profit from, the oil from Iraq has not offset the costs in invading the country and is common sense to not invade for such a thing. The US today produces the most oil, and OPEC right now has greatly lost its influence due to Biden getting himself sorted. " tactical reasons that have nothing to do with helping civilian populations." Then why aren't we leveling entire city blocks like Russians in Georgia and Chechnya? "Yes, I observed carpet bombing of civilian populations there and I did not approve." There's not a lot of instances carpet bombing was used in the Iraq War, plus, there was barely any carpet bombing in urban centers. The only notable time the US carpet bombed in Iraq was bombing an ISIS infested island In the War in Iraq, aka 2014-2017. Comparing the aftermath of the WW2 Carpet Bombings to Russian bombing of Chechyna to American Bombings in Iraq, Iraqi infrastructure is very much intact compared to the conflicts I mentioned. "Even though they were telling me it was for my safety." I mean hey, the insurgents love using civilians as body shields, as whenever one dies in battle, it's 99% surely to be blamed on coalition forces regardless of who actually got the civilian killed. "Especially since the US has instigated conflict all over this planet." Post WW2 policy, if we don't fight the terror abroad, then the terror comes home. As the US just slapped Japan on the wrist for the invasion of China, allowing Japan to grow stronger, in which they'd eventually attack the US. I also ask, what years were you in Iraq? The US was doing some great Hearts and Minds work, and actually gave a darn in making a competent fighting force to defend Iraq when the US wasn't there with a good example being Mosul, which was fought with very little US ground support while uniting old enemies like the Sadr Army to help fight with the Iraqi government. .
