    Are you confused about which comment thread you’re in? You said initially that the protests 20 years ago of the Iraq War were impotent and I pointed out that the US Involvment in Iraq sharply declined as a result of those protests, despite anti-NATO religious extremism presence growing in the region for many of the following years.

      Jesus fucking Christ this post alone should be considered an act of violence for it’s sheer depravity and mockery of millions of deaths. The US did it’s thing in Iraq for 15 years, utterly failed, made lots of people rich and then they left. How dare you claim that was success for the anti-war movement. What is wrong with you? What the fuck is “Anti-NATO religious extremism?” This is a suspiciously nonsensical statement, especially when NATO wasn’t even in Iraq. Is a chat bot writing your responses for you?

        NATO is still currently in Iraq, the US 2,500 troops are only a part of the effort to hamper ISIS.

      The protests didn’t do anything to that, it was the insurgency causing a steady supply of body bags to come back.

        I find it hard to believe 9 other people as misinformed as you scrolled this far into this thread to upvote your theory that US troops never left Iraq they just died.

          Sure, everyone else is wrong, and you’re right even when you’re seemingly deliberately misreading everything. If you’re not trolling, you should probably get yourself checked.
