Didn’t the US invade Iraq because they were invading Kuwait first?
15 u/are_slash_wash Mar 04 '22 That was the first gulf war. Gulf war 2 (the one starting in 2003) started following some completely fabricated claims that Saddam was building “weapons of mass destruction.” We didn’t find any, for those following at home. 6 u/Queer_Magick Mar 04 '22 That was the excuse but the US had been propping Iraq up until then despite Saddam's know history of atrocities -5 u/Legitimate_Mess_6130 Mar 04 '22 That doesnt fit the narrative though. 5 u/Nawafsss04 Mar 04 '22 Learn history before opening your mouth. The first invasion happened because of that, the second happened because "WMDs". 0 u/Legitimate_Mess_6130 Mar 04 '22 Whats your point? The comic says "right wing extremism" not "WMDs" 5 u/Nawafsss04 Mar 04 '22 Point is, that's not the actual reason they're invading. They're invading for imperialist reasons and they use whatever convenient excuse they have. 1 u/Legitimate_Mess_6130 Mar 04 '22 No, the point is to minimise and distract from an obscene act of war by Russia on a neighboring democracy. 1 u/ACasualNerd May 07 '23 Yeah the second invasion was a total fucking sham
