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

we were against iraq

And the iraq war was only connected to 9/11 in that Saddam was housing some al-qeada terrorists, which to be honest were not that closely connected to Saddam

otherwise it was a seperate war

We actually invaded iraq before 9/11 some years prior in the persian gulf war, so you could consider it mostly seperate

i dont believe the official government story frankly

The official governmeant story more or less makes sense

For what reason would we have to support a socialist dictator

<:Doubt:588038713938804760>

maybe some kind of non-socialist one against the socialist one

But we were obviously activley engaged against Saddam
