13 days agoWhat’s the evidence for that being the goal of the invasion? The US invaded Iraq to loot the country and destabilize the region. What’s my evidence for this? It happened. It’s what they did.
I wouldn’t call it “winning” when your invasion leads to nothing but state collapse, formation of ISIS and US troops getting merced by IEDs.
I don’t see how any of these things are bad for the American ruling class.
Aren’t stated goals kind of irrelevant? The stated goal of invading Iraq was to rid them of imaginary WMDs. The US invaded to loot, destroy and destabilize. All those goals were achieved.
