If Americans ever learned about not invading foreign nations and killing a bunch of people and making them hate you... They wouldn't invade foreign nations and kill a bunch of people and make them hate them.

    We kinda did, why invade when you can just give a faction that benefits you shittons of diplomatic and financial support to achieve power, then military aid to keep the population from resisting. But this type of approach doesn't work against countries that don't let it, hence why you see a different track for Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea.

    They might have if when the public demonstrations wee happening and protestor were being murdered in the street and government cut internet. If US had gone in and killed leadership and no civilian casualties. I'm sure Iranian people would have greeted them as liberators.

    George Bush at least made excuses about going into a country for oil companiea. Trump straight up said "we want their oil".

    Sad thing about this meme is neither of those war criminals will ever face a single consequence for their crimes.

    He fell for one of the classic blunders. Maybe next he'll go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

    The fucked up thing is Iraq was, by and large, ready to welcome us as liberators. Bush and co were just so focused on the oil they neglected tf out of every form of diplomacy.

    Behind the bastards did a great run down of what happened. Basically, we snubbed their religious leaders, cut basic services, and left unnecessary destruction in our wake. We also left the Iraqi army to rot. Instead of getting a large amount of well trained and armed men to do something productive, we left them to do what they did.

    But hey,! Stock prices were great! Haliburtin made a killing! Still no wmd's tho....
