“If you loved the Iraq war”

The Iraq war repudiated the principle of conquering nations for plunder and national expansion.

KGB/GRU protege Saddam was hanged by his own people. Specifically, the Shia relatives of families he’d executed were in attendance. So you’re on his team in order to criticize US politician(s)?

So you throw out the whole post-WWII principle of detente for political campaigning. Great, watch the world burn with the rest of the megalomaniacs and pyros.

KGB/GRU Iran has it coming.

Your history needs to go back a little further.

Iran and Iraq used to be at war with each other.

DC kept debating which side to support—finally settled on Iraq.

Iraq got stronger and starting causing lots of trouble in the region, so then we intervened—a couple of times.

We turned Iraq into a basket case of chaos.

The problem is by weakening Iraq we strengthened Iran.

Now you want us to attack Iran.

The Middle East is a stunningly complex mess—and every move we make seems to just make it worse.

PostWar Detente ended with the collapse of the USSR in 1991 !

This is how the NeoCons make decisions to go to war.

Based on BoomerCon nostalgia for Cold Wars that ended 30+ years ago, and hatred for foreign Intel Agencies that were disbanded in 1991.
