Perhaps the greatest strategic and moral blunder in American history. Destroyed a country, for what?

And the parallel with Ukraine? When the US, raging about 9/11, attacked a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Not a country with shared borders, history, ethnicity and language that appeared to be aligning with an enemy: NATO. Our attack, “shock and awe” a hubris that’d make Andrew Tate blush, was justified with fabricated evidence of WMD to cover the illegal regime change, a regime we had put in place, and probably, to secure an energy supply. This act makes Putin look childish. But, as with Gaza, the victims are and were “other” Islam and Arab. Where the Ukraine is white and Christian. And yes, it is a US habit of war, conquest and control wrapped in our gruesome swaddling of propaganda.
