      This proves that US has no real policy in middle east, they want oil without fighting which we all know that's not going to happen, Iranian proxies are now getting stronger and well-armed, not like before, imagine militias have drones, ATGMs, air defenses, tanks and vehicles, they are literally small armies, not to mention their cyber warfare capabilities, Houthis now has ballistic missiles, anti ship missiles, they are much more stronger now and ground invasion means US will lose for sure, look for Israel which is US proxy, HMS kicked their butt in Gaza, more than 4 months in fight and thousands of their troops were killed, dozens and dozens of videos show how HMS destroyed IDF vehicles, this gives Iranian proxies more confident that they can do the same with US forces, and in my opinion Yes they can.
      US created alot of enemies in middle east that they cannot manage anymore, that's why US time in middle east is about to finish, maybe 5-10 years at max.
      Now Russians will give weapons to those proxies because of what US did in Ukraine, believe me things in middle east is now out of US control, it is just a matter of time now.

Then we destabilized the Levant.

Individual bureaucrats are bought or blackmailed by different foreign lobbies and are only trying to loot as much as possible during their term. This is how us govt is zealously supporting a state located in Palestine, even though it's terrible for their diplomatic position, expensive and hopeless - it's the largest lobby, most money, most blackmail. Centralized decision making doesn't really exist, it's just marionettes being pulled in every direction with thousands of strings. This is why they are so ineffective recently.

Removing Saddam was a massive own goal for the US as it significantly strengthened Iran.

      Sometimes I ask myself how is possible that we as people of the world have information for example about banks and bankers and we do not revolt regardless of nationality how is possible that those kind information are out in the open and we all act like sheep's....
      So called "western worlds" polices around the world hypocrisy and double standards are out in open and they are really frightening....84% of world population hate west imagine what they will do to us when we fall and we will fall hard ....
      I recon that in 20 years those 84% of people will put sanctions on collective WEST and only option will be to go down swinging that means using nukes and bye bye world we know ....

      A lot of what History Legends posts is simply made up, or at the very least grossly misrepresented events. That's why it seems like it makes sense. I suggest you read information briefings from western intel if you want a more empiric view.

    • @dacorum8053

      @@ArchOfficial That is simply not true. Everything I wrote could be deduced at the time. The US invaded Iraq because Bush junior wanted to finish off the job Bush Senior had started but not finished of removing Saddam in the first Gulf War because Saddam managed to put down the Shia rebellion in the south. Between the first Gulf War and the invasion to remove Saddam the US enforced no fly zones on the Kurdish north and Shia south of Iraq and imposed sanctions. Saddam was boxed in with very little room for manoeuvre and was trying just to survive when we invaded.
      There was absolutely no need or requirement to help the US invade Iraq but Blair was desperate to do so and to get public support which is why he published the dodgy dossier that falsely claimed Saddam had WMDs ready to launch in 45 minutes. Remember we were also allies of the US at the time of the Vietnam War but thankfully Harold Wilson never went to the US's aid then

      1- qasim sulaimani before he was killed by the US he was in iraq after the elections when the shia majority couldn't agree on the goverment he was there to shape it exactly to iran wishs, so him being killed by the US didnt hurt anyone who cares about iraq only the ass kissers
      2-the kurds didnt fight ISIS in 2014 (right after mousl fell) but they (kurdish goverment) made a deal with them to attack each other and the kurds could keep the north oil fields and file for speration from iraq after baghdad falls (which didnt happen) ISIS just got big enough to attack on both fronts and stabbed the kurds in the back and they cried for israel and the US to help them
      3- the troops in al asad air base (which is attacked by iran and its proxies most of time) are legal there but as experts for the F-16s not as combat unites
      The combat units were not legal and mostly not there
      4- the shia proxies are just mafias with a religous coat on them
      They'll do ANYTHING to stay in power
