    If the USA wouldn’t be randomly invading countries every few years, they could keep the same level of military technology while spending much less.

    The Iraq war did nothing to increase the US military’s capabilities but just wasted enourmous amounts of money while killing civilians on a daily basis.

      Yeah but it also gave us the Saddam Hussein outline meme.

      Trillions well spent.

      for sure. To boot that was done while backgrounding afganistan which was the main 9/11 thing and caused it to go on forever since it was neglected.

        What’s up with Americans never mentioning Afghanistan anymore like it wasn’t the first place that got invaded after 9/11???
