Gulf War theoretically had a justifiable cause; but in practice it was the US swinging it's dick around to prove it's the one true hyperpower. Saddam had previously been a loose ally of the US and thought he'd received a go-ahead from them to invade Kuwait but either the US didn't expect him to go that far or was deliberately baiting him into being an example depending on how cynical you are. Plus while Iraqi troops were pretty awful to the Kuwaitis as you'd expect, the US also just made up a bunch of poo poo to make the war look better

The Iraq War was entirely a loving conspiracy to rob and murder people for completely and deliberately fabricated reasons. Just absolutely insane.

This is a "normal" war. This is what war is. Pretending there's anything more to it is just rationalization

There's that episode of The Boondocks where MLK wakes in the modern day (well, the year 2000), and when asked what to do about 9/11 he says "Well, as a Christian, I believe we should turn the other cheek." Or something to that effect. At 14 I thought that was well intentioned but incredibly naive. Now looking at it, literally doing nothing would have been better than what did happen.

I saw Aaron McGruder give a talk at a liberal arts college in the winter between Obama's election and inauguration. In the Q&A someone asked him how he felt about having a black president and he said he didn't expect anything to meaningfully change under Obama, to a small chorus of boos from the audience. Dude's smart as hell.

That's loving stupid. Anybody with a functioning brain could see that there was no way a war in Afghanistan would stop future attacks. How the gently caress does murdering hundreds of thousands of people prevent attacks?? That only guarantees attacks, which are now fully justified!
If the us position that Afghanistan harbored terrorists was correct (it was not), the only justifiable action would be to take action directly against terrorists.
Instead, the us and its allies committed genocide against Afghanistan for a generation.

gently caress you, idiot. Hundreds of thousands of people were murdered in Afghanistan. I can't conceive of a person so loving stupid they imagine there's some justification for innocent people being turned into blood mist by robots for a generation.

Chucklefuck, it's not our job to play world police through our military action. What is our job is making sure we're not the ones doing the killing. It's not worse, it's just the one variable we should be controlling and we do a terrible job at it.

Maybe. However I'm suspicious, as the invasion of Iraq directly led to the creation of ISIL which destabilized the heck out of key Russian ally Syria.

This isn't even true, btw. Cadet branches of the Habsburgs would continue intermarrying until the 20th century. The traditional inbreeding was so bad that the patrilineal line of Austrian-Spanish Habsburgs went extinct, and had to continue through the Habsburg-Lorraine branch under Maria Theresa.
