“The bombing campaign that the United States unleashes on Iraq for one month, we bombed the hell out of the country, has no reasonable explanation, other than we just wanted to test weapons systems and kill as many people as we could.”
Prof Roy Casagranda unpacks the cynical logic that the US used to wage wars in Iraq that devastated the country and horrendously impacted millions of Iraqis.

@@latetotheparty184 No, it wasn't. He's a gatekeeper. There is a video on GDF channel "War in Iraq wasn't about oil" that debunks all this pathetic gatekeeping. Christopher Bollyn already exposed it with highly rated books years ago. It's all wars for Israel based on 2 strategies written by zionists in 90s: Clean Break by Douglas Feith ("official" architect of the Iraq war which this clown in the video won't even mention) and Greater Isreal by Oded Yinon. EVERYTHING that happened since 2001 happened exactly as written in these documents. Everybody can read it to get a clue. US military is pursuing zionist military doctrine of demilitarization and "balkanization" of Israel's adversaries. AND IT'S STILL CONTINUING. Why do you think US is still in Syria, stealing oil and training militants against Assad? Iraq/Syria were the main targets of these doctrines .... hahahaha gummy

There's another factor not mentioned in this analysis. The collapse of the Soviet Union meant that the Cold War was coming to an end, and with it all the lucrative contracts of the US defense contractors. After Viet Nam, the US Defense Department totally changed their training and recruiting strategies, becoming a much more professional fighting force, as evidenced in the 1989 invasion of Panama. So all the pieces were in place for the neocons to create the state of "forever war" where constant low-grade conflicts would necessitate more and more US war materiel, thus the US defense contractors could maintain their gravy train, and all it would cost is a few hundred thousand brown people's lives in the Middle East and Asia.

It's about revenue, not oil. Oil is just very lucrative. Most importantly, it's about using tax payers money to make private entities wealthier. So it's a form of money transfer (Military industrial complex). Moreover, American imperialism and global hegemony plays a huge role. Therefore, it is also about subverting these countries and maintaining Western/American global dominance.

I was a none Iraqi student back in 1991 during Desert Storm in the North of Iraq, Mosel. We had to flee to Jordan. So we traveled to Baghdad then to the west, to Jordan. Every step of the way there was bombing, as Prof Casagrada was saying. BTW, Kuwait was to the south of Iraq. It was obvious Bush Sr Admin wanted Iraq infrastructure destroyed and Bush jr finished dad's job.

9:10 "...the Iraqi people Vietnamed the United Sates and the United Sates left humiliated..." & "...it ended up being completely catastrophic for the U.S. empire..." The U.S. empire is not one thing, it is several things, and only some of those things, e.g. the military and legislature, are sensitive to humiliation. The fact that Vietnam was lost to the communists and the region did not then also 'fall' to communism proves that the stated political goal of the U.S. was either mistaken or a lie, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident proves the U.S. was, or perhaps is, not above lying. If we assume that that stated political goal was not a lie, and worth 59k lives, not to mention 3.1 million Vietnamese, then we must also assume that U.S. strategic political intelligence is incompetent. The resources available to the U.S. make it entirely able to create any structure necessary to produce highly effective intelligence, which leaves us with ‘lie’. Why would the U.S. lie about its political goals in Vietnam, or anywhere else? The military hardware, and software, industry is quite immune from the humiliation mentioned above and, far from being catastrophic, benefits equally regardless of military outcomes. In fact, it is likely that it enjoys greater benefit from defeat than victory because no military force in the world will overcome U.S. forces quickly. This benefit to the military industry is entirely public money, i.e. government money that might otherwise be spent on public benefit. A population that is denied adequate social infrastructure becomes distressed and, as long as it is also distracted, will ‘feed’ on itself rather than attack the mechanism responsible for its distress, making it easier for the governmental mechanism to maintain that distress. In the end, the very numerous and seemingly pointless wars of the U.S. amount to an ongoing war waged by the U.S. empire against its own population.

CIA advised this was impossible as they knew all too well what and whom had the ability and resources to have such technology ..... Netanyahu had to back down but was back the following year with the WMD story ,which again CIA knew not to be true but , lets go anyway , after all Netanyahu has for 30 years claimed if we take out Sadam the whole region will have positive reverberations . and.... we want to test some new weapons ourselves ..

Palestine is an area of ​​more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation

It wasn't stealing oil or slant drilling. The geology of the land makes it so that oil flows naturally downstream. Sadam had said countless times that Kuwait was part of Iraq way prior to any oil disputes. Kuwait was a trading port that was litteraly ruled by the bani khaled and prior to that exchanged hands between Iran and Arabian tribes throughout history. It was never part of Iraq in modern history unless we are talking babylonia which of in itself was split into 4 distinct regions. The US and UK promted both the Iraq Iran war and the Gulf war

One of the good things about reading The Guardian is that you get some interesting letters from people in high places. Years ago a British defence analyst (who gave his name) recalled that he'd been in America a few days after 9/11 and had got invited to a secretive meeting with many Forbes 500 companies (many of them in the military industrial complex). They were addressed by a high ranking person in the Pentagon who told them that plans were already afoot to invade Afghanistan and Iraq in order to (particularly in the case of Iraq) leave these countries in a state of chaos and anarchy in order to secure the West's oil supply and have a forward operating military base. This duly happened. As Rumsfeld observed: "We don't do nation building." Was oil an issue with Afghanistan though? Well the West has long wanted to get at that oil in the Caspian Sea and build a pipeline going across Afghanistan and into the then rather more stable India or Pakistan, and after the Taliban kicked the Russians out (with Western money and armaments) the Texan oil company Unical quietly invited the Taliban leaders to Texas to put the proposal to them. The Taliban seemed taken by the idea (all that Western hospitality and booze) but the local feminist movement were a bit less taken with it and showed up and demonstrated. You can see this particular incident in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11". Anyway , the whole thing went pear-shaped when Osama masterminded 9/11 at which point the Americans discovered what we could have told them a long time ago with our empire - alliances can change very quickly in this part of the world.

​@@roybatty2030 ah. My mistake. It's possible, but if they were, it would not have been consequential. 1.) Oil is priced in dollars, so the € would have to be converted one way or another or there would be an arbitrage problem. 2.) The Bush administration pushed the two narratives of WMDs and ties to Al Qaeda. We were WAAAAY more concerned about that. What we feared at the time was that a "smoking gun" of definitive evidence would come in the form of bomb crater in the middle of a U.S. city. "Better safe than sorry" meant we should invade Iraq *now* instead of waiting for all the facts. That was the zeitgeist in 2002-2003.

Five hundred years of Western hegemony has ended, while the global majority’s aspiration for a world order based on multipolarity and sovereign equality is rising. This incisive book addresses the demise of liberal hegemony, though pointing out that a multipolar Westphalian world order has not yet taken shape, leaving the world in a period of interregnum. A legal vacuum has emerged, in which the conflicting sides are competing to define the future order. NATO expansionism was an important component of liberal hegemony as it was intended to cement the collective hegemony of the West as the foundation for a liberal democratic peace. Instead, it dismantled the pan-European security architecture and set Europe on the path to war without the possibility of a course correction. Ukraine as a divided country in a divided Europe has been a crucial pawn in the great power competition between NATO and Russia for the past three decades. The war in Ukraine is a symptom of the collapsing world order. The war revealed the dysfunction of liberal hegemony in terms of both power and legitimacy, and it sparked a proxy war between the West and Russia instead of ensuring peace, the source of its legitimacy. The proxy war, unprecedented sanctions, and efforts to isolate Russia in the wider world contributed to the demise of liberal hegemony as opposed to its revival. Much of the world responded to the war by intensifying their transition to a Eurasian world order that rejects hegemony and liberal universalism. The economic architecture is being reorganised as the world diversifies away from excessive reliance on Western technologies, industries, transportation corridors, banks, payment systems, insurance systems, and currencies. Universalism based on Western values is replaced by civilisational distinctiveness, sovereign inequality is swapped with sovereign equality, socialising inferiors is replaced by negotiations, and the rules-based international order is discarded in favour of international law. A Westphalian world order is reasserting itself, although with Eurasian characteristics. The West’s defeat of Russia would restore the unipolar world order while a Russian victory would cement a multipolar one. The international system is now at its most dangerous as the prospect of compromise is absent, meaning the winner will take all. Both NATO under US direction and Russia are therefore prepared to take great risks and escalate, making nuclear wan increasingly likely.

1991 - it was against U.S. strategic interests to let Saddam Hussein conquer Kuwait. Bush Sr held together a coalition that liberated the country, but left Hussein in power. 2003 - 9/11 left the U.S. paranoid about terrorism, and we let Bush Jr convince us Hussein 1.) Still had chemical weapons, and 2.) Had ties to Al Qaeda. It turned out neither was true, but we were stuck occupying Iraq.
