Midst a longer essay on the topic, Wauck has this graf--which is a summary.
...My take on the Second Iraq War, at the time, was that it was largely a geopolitical war to increase US control over the Eurasian landmass. By establishing Afghanistan and Iraq as bases for our military empire, combined with our position in the Indian Ocean, we had Iran surrounded on three sides and were in a position—as we thought—to pressure Russian control over Central Asian energy resources. It hasn’t worked out that way—a result that should sound familiar at this point. Iran has successfully remained outside the US controlled global dollar based oil economy and Russia has maintained—often through adroit diplomacy, something the US disdains for more heavy handed methods—its control over natural gas from Central Asia. Russia has also thwarted our attempts to leverage our position in the Middle East (cf. Georgia, Syria, etc.). It also continued the pattern of made up excuses—frankly propagandistic uses of “intelligence”—for war-making which flew in the face of international law in favor of the “values” of a US rules based order....
The entire column is worth the read; analyses include the CIABush's lying about Iraq to get us into Iraq I, plus Clinton's alienation of Russia, achieved by bombing their ally to prop up an Islamic terrorist regime in Kosovo.
All this--the body-count of US citizens, soldiers, and 'enemy' troops and civilians, the economic destruction wrought by shelling and bombing, the animosity earned by CIABush, Clinton, Bush the Dumber, Obama, and now PoopyPants🤡--will not earn Normies the love and respect of the rest of the world.
Fair warning.....
