        The previous government had running infrastructure, hospitals, electricity, clean water, etc. before the American regime bombed them and plunged the region into chaos so as to install puppet governments that allowed the U.S regime to pillage their resources and inflate the stock portfolios of the war criminals that run the American regime.

        Zero justification for supporting the actions of the American terrorist regime.

                Right, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden’s bullets, bombs, and depleted uranium thatve killed and displaced millions of Iraqi citizens are obviously much better.

                Isn’t worshipping the lesser of two evils you liberal demons whole political ideology?

                    So you think the guy who killed millions is better than the guy who killed thousands? You think the guy who killed millions is the lesser of two evils?
                    Why might that be? Does it have something to do with the people killed? us-foreign-policy

            You’re really conflating seething hatred for America destroying a country with praise for Saddam Hussein? You reactionaries really can’t see in anything beyond binary terms, can you?

            Saddam was fucking atrocious, but Iraq had working infrastructure under him (and his rise to power was aided by the US, so he was another pawn)

            They had that torn apart courtesy of America and are only just building back

              No I got no love for what the US and the allies did to Iraq, but what good is the the running water they had for the dead Kurds? From the start, my argument was they are better off now. Not that they are in paradise now.

                Better off how? I pointed out their power grid is shit, their water table is contaminated, their buildings are bombed out, and everything but their oil has been privatized. Materially, they’re fucked 3 ways to Sunday.

                If you’re trying to still make digs about ‘supporting Saddam killing Kurds’ or w/e, I’ll point out again that Saddam had the full backing of the US until Kuwait

                And you can get rid of people like him without invading the country and tearing it asunder

                    The Kurds killed with chemical weapon technology supplied by the US? The killings that the US tried to frame Iran for? After which the US refused to sanction Iraq and continued to provide dual-use technology to Iraq.

                  It’s true, the number of times i heard “glass the middle east” as a child comprehensively destroyed for me the idea of america as a force for anything good, and of americans as an aggregate being anything but a swarm of stupid bloodthirsty assholes once they get activated.

                  I have hope for the individuals, but as a collective identity? No more American, the world does not need American.

                They don’t have functional infrastructure 20 years after the war and they did under Saddam. You really think the US was interested in anything besides cannibalizing the country for resources?

                edit: Oh yeah, they were interested in one other thing: handing lucrative ”rebuilding” contracts to corporations like Halliburton with direct ties to the Bush admin.

            Hey quick question, what’s worse: opposing the US empire, or being the US empire and giving Saddam Hussein chemical weapons to attack Iran?

            I’m with you. It’s not fair to make judgments based on the material reality of people’s lives. You clearly said the word dictator, which means bad guy from an exotic locale. You won the argument. What are all these commies talking about?

            The Iraq war and the aftermath probably killed more Iraqis than Saddam’s entire reign.

              Without a doubt. The war led to millions of deaths

            Fucking libs, man. Give them the slightest push against their preconceived notions and they immediately start slinging shit instead of relating to the arguments at hand.
            “Hey here’s some facts about how life was measurably better before we bombed the shit out of Iraq”.
            “Whatever you love Saddam”.

            You would have supported the Iraq war. You would have supported the Vietnam war. You would have supported the Kent state shootings. You would have eagerly reported local communists during the red scare.

            Please acquire some critical thinking skills you cretin

        Iraq’s power grid took until 2008 to return to the capacity it could generate prior to the first Gulf War over a decade and a half prior where the US needlessly destroyed their power grid, and it still can’t meet demand in the summer

        It has depleted uranium in it’s groundwater from American munitions

        It had ISIS/ISIL attack it

        Millions were displaced, hundreds of thousands were killed, and it got privatized into oblivion by IMF/World bank loans with greedy contractors like Halliburton licking their chops

        I’m pretty sure it is much worse then it was pre American involvement

        There’s plenty of shitty government around the world, including a bunch the US actively supports. It doesn’t give the US the right to kick the door down and subject the people there to more instability and violence to further their geopolitical goals under the guise of “humanitarianism”.

        So if Russia installs a regime better than the current one, their invasion is ok then?

        Also lol at not knowing the USA installed the Iraqi government.
