that talk dishonors every British soldier who has lost lives and limbs in the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -—nand their families

let’s not get into who drew up the colonial maps that led to the nationalist instabilities that created a vacuum for extremist islamism and al Qaeda

Let’s look at who stood up with George Bush 41 when April Glaspie’s blunder led Saddam to invade Kuwait, and who stood up with the USA when Bush43 decided the only way to stop future 9-11’s is to accelerate by force, the process of modernizing the political systems of the muslim world, starting at the center, Iraq

I will go to war with the Brits at my back, any day

They’ll really start freaking out when we beat them on Saturday.

Kuwait, that british creation carved off from the British creation of Iraq? Which had a gulf war just like desert storm in the 50s?

Wake up and smell the hot tea. While of course a British soldier is trustworthy, their government is not.
And thats mighty big of England to feel like they should be involved in a war involving Jordan, Syria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq,,, (notice a pattern?)

I stand by it, it’s hard to name a government more hostile to Americas values and Geopolitical goals than England.

Wake up and smell the hot tea. While *of course* a British soldier is trustworthy, and a good guy to be with in a foxhole, their government is certainly not. I don’t think i’ve ever been critical of British soldiers, except possibly a specific individual for cause,,etc.

And of course England should be there to clean up messes involving Jordan, Syria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq,,,

But I do stand by it, it’s hard to name a government more cynical in it’s take on America’s values and Geopolitical goals than England. As a government, they generally do not slavishly love us, the way we are expected to admire them.

IIRC it was actually the Iron Lady who acted as Bush41's backbone for evicting Iraq from Kuwait. IIRC there was an unfortunate conversation where she was overheard saying that she couldn't allow "George to go all wobbly".

Are you sure the Iraq war wasn’t UK-led?

The way I remember, none of the US agencies could find any proof of WMD in Iraq, so W used phony UK evidence in the State of the Union to convince Congress to invade Iraq.
