Quoted: Eh, Zelinsky's volkssturm is having the same thoughts. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/67160/1661970322198503_png-2534518.JPG View Quote Being in a war of national survival does that to a country. It's a little different than doubling down on an unjustified war of expansion. |

Quoted: Quoted: That's a bold claim. Also, unless you label the entire period 2003-present as "the US invasion" it's patently false. And even if you do, you left out the slightly inconvenient fact that over 90% of Iraqi civilian casualties we're caused by...other Iraqis. So there's that. You break it, you buy it. We didn't break Iraq, Saddam did through his political repression, sectarian repression towards the Kurds and Shia, promotion of Salafism during his faith campaign in the '90s, etc. The idea some people have that Iraq was even remotely a stable nation prior to 2003 is utterly absurd. Promotion of this idea is indicative of ignorance or bias. |

Quoted: Which is precisely, in my opinion, why they do it. If you're a sad opticscuck, and all your other avenues of tribalism have been neutered, all your no-no words banned lest you cease to be welcome in 'polite society'... what do you do when that same social structure finally opens up a little vent of acceptable ethnic aggression, however misplaced it may ultimately be? The answer, apparently, is that these people get drunk as a fucking skunk on orcs this and orcs that as they revel in the no-limits barbarism and blind hatred they are finally allowed to display.

Promotion of this idea is indicative of ignorance or bias. It was an absolute repressive shithole, no argument, but pretty much that's what it takes to keep a lid on some cultures, and once that lid is removed... This argument is thrown around a lot in relation to Saddam (and Assad), but it has little to no basis in reality. People argue that Saddam was what stopped something like ISIS from coming to power, but the opposite is true. Saddam fostered and created the environment in which AQI and later ISIS were able to thrive. Through his sectarian repression and promotion of Salafism, he pretty much guaranteed that the country would plunge into a viscious sectarian civil war once he lost power. The fact that Saddam actively promoted Salafism and that many former Ba'athists became higher ups in AQI/ISIS throws a wrench in the whole "Saddam kept them in line" argument. |

That Bombing the Kunduz hospital though Sure, we've fucked and killed civilians over the 20+ year long GWOT. No one is denying that. There is, however, an enormous difference in conduct between Russia and the US. You have to be blind or intentionally dishonest not to see it. All you have to do is look at how we handled Fallujah and compare it to how the Russians handled Mariupol, Grozny, etc. |
