The whole ba'thist socialism thing and ak-47's and all that

overwhelmingly socialist weapons and ideology

As were most middle eastern dictatorships

Ba'thist socialism is still present in Syria and was in libyia

we trained iraqi forces in the late 50's to defend against the soviets yes

What’s up with Americans politics? Has aoc a shown feet pics yet?

Wat

lol

we wanted to prevent the spread of communism to iraq

The iraq military overwhelmingly was funded and supplied by the soviet union

like all of their equipment is soviet equipment

well we funded iraqi forces not their military

look into it

T-72 tanks, pkm machine guns, ak-47's lol

we were funding a coup

Actually we overwhelmingly didn't

that's kind of the point

There's tons of misinformation out there

to overthrow those who were being funded by the soviet union

We did though overthrow the iranians in a coup in 1953

bush did 9/11

9/11 did Bush

you got it backwards

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Iraq

"Although the CIA was not directly involved in the 1963 Ba'athist coup that ousted Abd al-Karim Qasim"

theres lots of documentation on the many activities of the CIA in Iraq

going back decades

See, the U.S. was opposed to Saddam

We were trying to stop him from getting to power

perhaps i was wrong about the specifics but

i mean we were there

The importance is we were against him

and i find it SUSPICIOUS

to say the least

And trying to stop him from coming to power

Had we succeeded in stopping saddam a lot of lives would be saved

So yes, it was good we tried to stop him

that we retaliate to 911 which was mostly done by those from saudi arabia

not surprising really

by going into iraq which has had CIA influence for decades

9/11 was mostly coordinated by pakistan
