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

@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.

@josefmengele181 Last time I checked the USD is still the strongest

@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.

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

@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.

@theoheinrich529 I'm sure Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and Apocalypse Now were pro-war films

@HICHAM_CHD Dude never knew how many Jihads came to Iraq. Not to mention Iraqis initially welcomed America as liberators till some Sunnis got salty that the Shias ran things. Not to mention uh, were the founding fathers and state leaders of the 13 Colonies credible people? Heck, the 1st president was a military officer, not a politician. You people keep expecting things to get good in a year. Change takes time.

@ernestkhalimov1007 Afghanistan could maintain a war for so long simply because their neighbor had their backs, same for vietnam too.

@CJ-fs1zr " Even have Shiite militia members during the insurgency period in the Iraq parliament after america left." Did I say they did not have any members in parliament? I just said they lost a bunch of power to the Shias. "Iraqs politics is prob the most interesting and divisive lol." Based on how the government failed to spend it's money properly the 2000s-2010s says otherwise. " One of the Iraq parliament members was part of a breakaway Islamic emirate that existed before invasion" which was Al Qaeda, not to mention you ever heard of this guy named Muqtada al-Sadr? Very great politician, research him. " Now one of the members of that breakaway Islamic emirate leads a political bloc in parliament and he congratulated the Taliban." Now the Taliban is fighting ISIS-k and other Islamic Emirates and I am sure they will be congratulating them for it. Now the two countries, Iran and Iraq, are friends to help bring stability in the Middle East and because they are both Shia dominated. In the Reuters article, "Iraqi PM in Iran after Saudi visit to push for revival of Tehran-Riyadh talks."

Democracy doesn't mean being woke, democracy means, participating in Government, this man is preventing Democracy, he is telling us indirectly to rebel against the government, instead of getting WE the people, to get in the government ourselves.

@josefmengele181 Yet I ask, why China failed to invade Taiwan for 3 times in a row. Island invasions are not easy, I am pretty sure WW2 has taught you something about invading by the sea, but apparently your smooth brained mind could never know that.

@kingtachalla6181 your source? Like people must be smoking crack to see those statistics. I feel like more people should go to the Euro.

@is2unknown893 the original argument was the absolute half baked idea that the Yuan was beating the USD

@ernestkhalimov1007 What about Afghanistan combat wise?

@ernestkhalimov1007 yes ik, USA can't win wars when it's not allowed to go after the countries that supply the opposition force.

@dsan8742 Ikr, but I wouldn't call our first leaders credible, they all squabbled with each other, heck it was a struggle to even get the constitution passed.

@HICHAM_CHD Fun fact, under Saddam, he exasperated the issue of secularism and started great fear mongering of Shias in Iraq when Iran underwent a revolution, the Shia uprising in Iraq, also known as the "1979–1980 Shia uprising in Iraq," was the growth of the Shia community Iraq during the Iranian revolution. The uprising stopped with the April 1980 arrest of the leader of Shia Iraqis, Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and his subsequent execution. So, idk what Middle Eastern pot you smoking to not notice these things happening. Not to mention, Al Qaeda was in Iraq, regardless of it supporting Saddam or not. Then there is this relatively unknown event that happened in the 2010s, known as the Arab Spring, which was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s. It began in Tunisia in response to corruption and economic stagnation, which soon fled over to Iraq, which is why we have ISIS. What you are saying completely ignores the Arab spring, and a person who does not have knowledge of this event, does not know what they are talking about. " I ask myself every time why after 2003 they were so many problems in iraq" Iraqis squabbling with each other till a new sense of national unity rose against the Islamic state. The successor to Al Sadr is a hero and a smart man, for doing the smart thing of changing the country for the better by slowly taking over the Iraqi parliament.
