The U.S. prepares to invade Iraq (2003)

Countdown to D-Day - Kuwait, March 2003
On the eve of the Second Gulf War, thousands of US troops are preparing for battle.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: kzbin.info_c...
Well-connected Kuwaitis talk of a similar strategy to 1991: heavy bombing, followed by a ground attack from the North and South. This time however, America boasts newer, high tech weapons.

@@thomascambrion4408 True... But before you start talking about the wrongs Russia did to Ukraine, what caused the war? Did Russia wake up one day and just invaded Ukraine for no cause as America and Westerners are claiming? The outcome of what we are seeing in Ukraine today is the reason why they said war is not good and everything that can lead to it's cause should be avoided, but Americans never did that instead, perpetuated the cause all in the name of NATO and we are in charge of the world and must dictate for the rest... people shouldn't judge one sided... Ukrainian leader was only stupid by listening to Americans and allowing his people to be slaughtered like this even though Russians too died, that's why it is called "war"... all these casualties would have been avoided if Ukraine had play neutrality like Finland, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and stopped the genocide against it's own people just because they accepted Russian culture. Switzerland is a small country, but there are 3 different languages spoken there with different cultures and no part is oppressed or excluded just because of their heritage. These are what Russia is fighting for... the people that needs to be condemned in this war is not Ukraine or Russia; but "Americans" because they are the cause and they just enjoy evil doings. I would have used America instead of Americans, but i used Americans because they sit back at home there watching the evils their government is doing to other parts of the world...

I wasn't much older - 9 years old, 10 in July of 2003. However, I do distinctly remember how well people knew shaky the justification for the war in Iraq was, and there was great opposition against it - at least there was here in Australia. It didn't help that our Prime Minister dragged us into the war without even passing it through the houses of parliament, angering a huge amount of people. People had the feeling that it was America policing the world, striking out at a country it didn't like; I guess that many believed Bush saw Iraq as unfinished business from 1991, as I kinda think today.

[@letsgobrandon7297]

Wulf899: Bush used our emotions after 9/11. Told us Saddam and bin laden were working together. Someone in the Bush cabinet said “let’s not let this event go to waste” meaning use the attacks to attack anyone they wanted to.

The FASB’s recently released standards are grouped below by effective date - those that are effective now and those that are effective in subsequent fiscal years -- for calendar year-end nonpublic companies (that is, companies that are neither public, nor meet the definition of a public business entity). Since the issuance of ASU 2013-12, Definition of a Public Business Entity-An Addition to the Master Glossary, the term public business entity (PBE) has been used to establish effective dates and to scale disclosure requirements for new ASUs. Therefore, all companies need to consider whether or not they meet the definition of a PBE when adopting new standards. While the guidance generally refers to PBEs, and sometimes the effective date for PBEs excludes smaller reporting companies (as defined by the SEC), we have used the “short hand” of “public” and “nonpublic” to refer to the earlier and later effective date buckets.

@@amlandeka3970 ofc it is 1 Russia vs 40 filthy westerns countries, + 9 Waves of mobilizations ( around 2M solders ) + NATO aid more than Russia military budget + all NATO satellites + sanctions + logistics + morale on Ukraine side and all of this and they still failed to stop 15% of Russian might while Russia going soft on them. ROFLMAO! 150K Russian solider on the offense atm. why cant all of those mentioned above stop them? In fact it is the opposite, this war exposed the west for being very weak. they never fight someone strong, only untrained unarmed unorganized iraqis, they fight like hyena btw, they go on teams vs 1 ( for example, USA and its slaves vs Afghanistan, and once again on iraq, again on Syria etc , they know they are weak lmao ) and when they face a competent peer ( japan ) they know they will get embarrassed, so they nuked it LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO atm Russia fight all. it has surpassed all exceptions. they are the only army in the world atm to have an actual battle experience as well, not the fat 2 moms LGBTQ army of UK/USA lmao. the collective west sending military aid far surpass Russia military budget, ukraine had 9 mobiliaztion waves ( 2Million cannon fodder ) + NATO trained mercaniries + NATO satatlies work 24/7 to spy on russia for Ukraine + sanctions + NATO generals guiding Ukraines and still losing to 15% of the Russian army. ROFL.

invading a country for no reason is pretty terrible but defending a dictatorship authoritarian government is also not very respectable either if i were an iraqi personally i would try to get on the outskirts and wait for the government to get destroyed and build from there, however knowing how messy US bombings are i would not wager that i would likely survive even as a civilian.

@@LaLa-qs2nf 1) Ukraine has an agreement with Russia not to join any other military group. 2) mind you Russia historically came out of Ukraine. 3) Russia has mostly been invaded through Ukraine mainly because of the land scape and the proximity to Moscow. 4) USA is should be the most feared country in the world... Not only because they're rich and have influence across the globe but also because: USA is the only country to drop two nuclear bombs not on military bases but on innocent civilian population, US had sponsored and armed terrorists to destroy other countries, US government has even sold cocaine in places in its own country just to fund war in another country. US had bombed Laos to make that country the most bombed country in the world and they weren't even officially at war with USA. Etc 5) USA orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 to get raid of the government that wasn't interested in joining NATO. 6) Ukraine neo Nazi US puppet government have been waging war on its own people because they're are pro Russian States. Mind you Russia came out of Ukraine historically so are almost the same people. They were called Kievan Russ

[@heartmind6373]

@@LaLa-qs2nf also get off the fake mainstream news media and do some research on your own. Also remember that NATO was formed to challenge Soviet union basically Russia. Russia wanted to joined and they were refused because they see Russia as an enemy to destroy or overthrow it's government and replace it with a puppet. USA has an ambition to rule the world and they won't stop untill they control everything. Now ask yourself why USA almost had a nuclear war with Russia over Cuba.
