Why did Iraq get invaded by the US but Iran didn't
Really makes you think....
>>61813903
Iran doesn't have weapons of mass destruction.
Existing charter to invade leftover from Desert Storm + butthurt leftover from Desert Storm + Saddam still thumbing his nose at the U.S. + Iraq still leering at our oil investments in the area + petrodollar? maybe
I don't care that much that we invaded, we're a superpower and have to keep the sword sharp from time to time and Saddam was enough of a dickhead to warrant it, I take issue with how quickly we withdrew and let the shitty interim government give rise to ISIS

for the million or so years of human existence prior our grievances would have been """"fair"""" grounds for engaging in war and supremacy. It's not like he hadn't been aggressive with us.
Empires of the past didn't even need to look for excuses like this or grant subjugated peoples autonomy, they went ahead and took and kept it and poured molten silver into the mouths of those who defied them
it's just peanuts so I'm not going to sit around and cry about it
a lot of those deaths were thanks to fellow countrymen and insurgents too, btw. Terrorists, who clearly don't give half a shit for the people they live with either.
please don't

All to install a Shia majority government in a Shia majority country formerly run by Sunnis who persecuted Shias and Kurds?

You basically flatenned Iraq, occupied it 10 years failling at fixing the mess you've made before leaving, pretending it was mission accomplished. Now Iraq is ISIS playground.
Stop talking like the USA was the new Rome or something.
>>61816250
>>61816439
I clearly said I didn't like how we pulled out quickly and half-assed the restoration
that's part of the stupid modern problem, we very well could have started flooding in contractors and our own to build it the way we wanted and make the place productive, but that's called "colonization" now and frowned upon
we can't be the new Rome because we aren't allowed
we came close with the restoration of Japan, Korea, and Germany though so suck my dick
>>61815607
Because your anus already is invaded by BBC

SHUT UP, YOU'RE NEXT
>>61814301
Neither did Iraq
>>61817184
They found chemical weapons and mass genocidal graves
>>61817019
Turkey is a part of NATO.
>>61817213
No they didn't you retard
Why do you think the British just wrote a lengthy report on how Iraq was a huge mistake that was on executed on false pretences
People don't realize that ISIS and destabilization of the Middle East was just according to keikaku. All we do now is wait for a critical mass to accumulate and we can wipe out the mudslimes quickly and easily in defense of the Jews and to combat Derrorism.

maybe not quite Enough™ to warrant attacking like your run of the mill Adolf Hitler but Saddam was a dick and his regime was shit and he did invade one of our allies and protectorates prior so whatevs
>>61817584
Gee I wonder who put him in power in the first place and encouraged him to use chemical weapons in the first place

And you look forward to this? What do you honestly think will happen after the fall of the West?
>>61817611
Probably just back-tracking since they pissed off their hyper liberal readership

I forgot, we're responsible for putting every dictator ever in power everywhere
thanks for keeping us honest, hat

better watch what you're typing
>>61813903
The US funded Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war and removed Mossadegh.
Practically the same result desu.
>>61813903
Freedumb ain't free :DDD
>>61813903
Maybe Bush wanted to make the Sunnis pay.
>>61819126
i don't need to, khamenei does it for me
>/pol/tards unironically defending the iraq war.
>>61819523
That's because /pol/ are just hipsters.
>>61813903
Iran is more powerful than you think.
They have survived for thousands of years
>>61819613
i'm flattered burgbro
>>61819613
They were under foreign rule for over thousand years and their language is 40% Arabic
>>61819485
realistically tho, what are the chances of actually getting in trouble for shitposting on /int/?
>>61819749
probably none
the entire country (including political figures) use vpns and yet nothing happens to them.
i'm not even using a vpn; using https bypasses the filters
>>61819674
>They were under foreign rule for over thousand years
yet we still exist today :^)
>and their language is 40% Arabic
that's because persians used arabic in the muslim golden age to talk about math and shit with arabs
if you actually know persian you'll realize that most arabic loan words are related to science/mathematics/etc.
>>61820023
>we wuz persians and shit
as bad as the nogs in my country desu.
>>61820023
I hate when Persians take credit for Turkic empires.
Some nigranians tried to say the Safavids and Khwarezmians were Persians
>>61820256
did you even read my post? i didn't say nor imply the 100% bure bersian meme
>>61820291
where did I say that? all I said was that iran still exists today
>>61820329
Iran doesn't exist. You're ruled by Turks like Khameini
>>61820424
turks in iran aren't persian but they're still iranian regardless
and iran still exists, stop with the fucking reddit-tier technical argument
>>61820291
Even if they weren't Persian they were still Iranian. See, being Iranian isn't just about which language you speak like the tribal nation states such as Turkey or France. The Safavids had an army composed of mostly Turkish speaking people while the Empire's administrators, intellectuals, scientists and artists were Persian. The whole of Azerbaijan (both the Iranian provinces and the republic) are Iranian people who now speak Turkish. Their historically and culturally still Iranian though but you'll never here then in Turkey because you're fed this Pan-Turkish nationalism nonsense to discredit the historic Iranianness of the region.
Iranians pray to a different god than Sunnis and Shias, they pray to their zoroastrian allah whose name is Azura Mathuza. When they do this they get certain spells they can use to distract world leaders from themselves, it is why Saudi Arabia is always viewed negatively and Iran isn't online. (They use fire magic mostly. they jump into fires and that gives them fire magic.) Us true Muslims whether Shia or Sunni try to stay away from Iran because of this, we can't combat them with Magic because the Jinn catchers might target us next. And if you ever find Iranians using their magic, call Jinn facers.
>>61813903
End yourself now, diaspora Canuck.
I swear in the name of God and all things holy that 80% of all Iran-related threads on /int/ are made by this one guy.
>>61813903
>Why did Iraq get invaded by the US but Iran didn't
A. most of the war budget for Iraq/Afghanistan and other little operations in the middle east was used up by the end.
B. Not enough recruits for the "war on terror""
cant fight a war if no one wants to take part in it.
kanucklebumblefuck
>>61813903
Iran is resource poor and America did kind of invade them once
I don't think even far left revisionist historians have anything nice to say about Saddam Hussein
>>61820256
Iranians literally are Persian you dumb fuck
>>61816518
>Sweden
>yes
>>61827371
Trump had nice things to say about him just the other day.
>>61827371
Plus if anyone invades Iran the whole region will balkanize itself. You have Azeris, Kurds, Lors, Arabs, Persians, Balochs, and so on. 3 of the people I listed before are actively fighting for their own land, and Azeirs will probbably want to unite with Azerbaijan. If America invades, a pan-Iranian state will be destroyed for good.
