Pakistan and India have fought without nukes. Argentina did not get nuked by Brits. US and Chinese vessels clash without nukes. Your argument doesn’t really stand up to military history if we analyze Cold War and the proxy wars and the times that nuke nations have fought against each other.

If we follow your logic, China and Russia may dowhatever they want because they have nukes and there’s no point in opposing them...

Also hey we get to do what we want because nukes!


Kind of like cops who do indeed kill unarmed people for no reason also sometimes protect from a home invasion and don’t shoot all the black people.
This is an argument about nuance, and a scale of grey, and I am having really hard time actually following you because it’s just these insane extremes with nothing in between.

I remember watching the opening bombing campaign of the second war in Iraq in high school. A girl in class had a brother in the army and she ran out of the room to cry.

The notion that no one knew the US was lying is utter crap pushed by willing fools and the bloodthirsty to coverup their support for a foreign war. If the war in Iraq had turned out to be a "success," do you think these same people would still be trying to distance themselves from their own support of the campaign?

During the lead up to the invasion, my literal child brain was able to correctly determine we were been conned into a war, that the war would be a costly failure leading to more destabilization, that, perversely, Saddam Hussein was an ally if we really cared about killing terrorists, and that Saddam did not have chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons. When Colin Powel gave his famous UN speech, I watched in horror as liberals gleefully expressed delight at the testimony of a man who's entire career was that of lying and coverups. The Bush administration cynically deployed Colin Powel and his conservative black man persona made him irresistible to liberals.

The adults around me dismissed my concerns as a lack of understanding how the world worked. Often times, they would then speak openly about their ideas for the war, which usually involved nuclear weapons and surrounding Iraq with a ring of soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder.

When they found the chemical weapons, they said "We found weapons of mass destruction" like someone that went for a round on a claw machine trying to grab a Rolex watch, against the advice of friends who said it's rigged, and ended up having to settle for something cheap and plastic, but still bragged about winning a prize anyway. Meanwhile, long-time American ally Egypt has chemical weapons, which never needs mentioning

yea the famous 'yellow cake' speech and poo poo was 100% about nukes, then when it became super clear even before the invasion it was literally impossible for them to have actual nuclear weapons in any form beyond theoretical it shifted to general 'weapons of mass destruction' and then, yea, we found the chemical weapons we sold Saddam and they got all 'BET YOU LIBS FEEL REAL DUMB NOW HUH?'

Also Harris is 100% gonna bump this old bitch off

They chemical weapons ended up being some corroded artillery shells sun-baking in a ditch. There were some other pathetic, miniscule finds as well. Technically, chemical weapons were found. Practically, the chemical weapons discovered were clearly and obviously some decayed, forgotten scrap from the once extensive program that the US helped build.
