We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat
~ Donald Rumsfeld
They have weapons and we have the receipts to prove it!
call me crazy, but I think the US has WMDs, they are not responsible enough to have them
Send in the Marines!
Is there any country that doesn't have WMDs? Why is this even worth saying?
I mean.... Iraq didn't have them until we sold them the precursor chemicals to make them. What they were really upset about was that Saddam was supposed to use all those to kill Iranians and then the Kurds.
You do a guy a favour by helping him eliminate any of his dissonance and what do you get in return? The guy tries to invade Kuwait to pay off all the money he owes for invading Iran. When did empowering ruthless dictators to do your bidding get so complicated?
Mexico (we don't know how)
Probably some of the very smallest ones, like the Marshall Islands or something
That's what they want you to think
Monaco maybe? Oh wait no—they have many billionaires
Your family has two TVs? You must be rich.
"why don’t presidents fight the war, why do they always send the poor"
Yeah, kings and presidents should go and hand fight their opponent and their people should watch them fight while eating popcorn and place bets, instead those low dick effort presidents and kings send innocent people to die for them, while them are hiding in their castles or bunkers. Fuck you
We also have WMD. WMD of course being an acronym for Weird, Megalomaniacal Dictator.
Every country who is anywhere close to a genocidal rogue state who explicitly stated they intend to do a Lebensraum and has attacked them unprovoked multiple times should have WMDs
Which country are we talking about now?
What do you mean you've seen this one? It's brand new.
I mean, clearly it works for the people.
"people"
Are we sure?
And the coils grow ever tighter.
I got wracked in Iraq, so I ran to Iran
Plot twist Trump pulled a Bush by mixing up their countries and Trump actually intended to invade Iraq this time but got it mixed up with Iran (so a reverse Bush? hsub?).
Nice idea, but that would have required Trump to plan. Maybe he just said the wrong country since after every public speach his aids give him a concussion so he can start fresh next time.
Tale as old as time.
didn't the UN find that they were enriching uranium past what was required for nuclear power, which indicates they're enriching it for nuclear weapons? To my knowledge this is the first time in something like 20 years that this has happened
to be clear, fuck israel for this escalation and their horrific genocide. There is no justification even if Iran had a fleet of WMDs.
I'm genuinely not sure how similar Iraq is to this
Yeah but so is North Korea. Plutonium, that is, not uranium, but still. Who cares? Could you imagine if South Korea just randomly started bombing their "nuclear engineers" + civilians and then US piped in?
No because Kim said nice words to Trump and wrote him a love letter.
Were you too young for Iraq?
It was a bit different, Americans were baying for revenge after 9/11, but also many people were adamantly against going to war.
I think there was less evidence of any WMD, everyone knew it was bullshit, but someone had to pay for 9/11.
In this case, the USA doesn't really give a shit about Iran, nobody has a score to settle, but the killer is - and the thing I remember from last time - is that at the beginning everyone was like cut the bullshit - but as time went along the media convinced a majority it was a good idea.
The same will happen here, they just haven't had a chance to catch up yet.
Who gives a fuck?
to be fair time is much older than Iran. But it is weird they've taken 40 years to develop a nuclear weapon when designs have been freely available online for over half that time.
The design isn't the issue, it's obtaining enough enriched material to actually construct it.
