What exactly do dipshits that support war imagine happens the day after the bombs stop falling? Some instant perfect paradise? A functioning democracy happening overnight? Have they genuinely forgotten Iraq?
Wars don’t liberate countries, they always destabilizes them. Whatever infrastructures they had collapses, economies tank and entire generations are left traumatized, broke and furious because just like the US, there’s right and left wing in these countries too who are willing to take revenge after the war ends, you know? The US isn’t the only country with redneck patriots.
Can recovery ever happen? If Iraq is any guide (and it is), expect 20+ years of fragile half-governance at best that’ll be involved in corruption, sectarian violence, failing schools, collapsing services and of course, security forces too weak or too compromised to hold anything together. ISIS didn’t appear out of nowhere, it was the direct child of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq’s chaos, the disbanded army, the sectarian violence and the West’s pure arrogant fantasy that regime change equals stability. It didn’t bring stability and democracy to Iraq, Libya and of course, Afghanistan.
This isn’t a polite “agree to disagree” topic. This is NOT something to agree to disagree on when history has shown this result not one time with the Iraq war, but with Libya and many others. It’s basic cause and effect. Anyone who still cheers for war as the default fix either hasn’t looked at the wreckage left behind or simply doesn’t care about the human cost on the ground. If your solution to every geopolitical problem is bombs and occupation, you were never genuinely concerned about the people living through it.
No good will come out of this war in Iran and genocide in Palestine. And the way I see it, Israel is a huge stain in our society. This is coming from an atheist and an ex-Muslim. Israel is a stain in our society for their genocide in Palestine where they murdered children under the age of 10, worked on Pegasus spyware to track activists all over the world, and for lobbying, or more accurately, buying foreign governments.
I know that none of the wars the US and Israel involved in is actually for democracy and peace, but rather for corrupted reasons. AIPAC is a give away for that, and of course, a pedo president involved hugely in Epstein island. So, just a pedo president and a genocidal in Palestine fighting a dictator. The bad, the ugly and the shit.
