> Stop lumping Iraq and Afghanistan together. I see this everywhere and it's tiresome. It's either outright lying or people who weren't old enough to make memories when these things happened.
They were both illegal wars that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians for no reason other than getting 1 guy. There were many ways to get him if your government really wanted to.
On a side note, it's pretty bold of you to assume I wasn't around when these wars happened.
> Afghanistan harbored Osama. They refused to give him up. NATO invaded the country to get him. It was justified.
Oh I see, is that how you justify a war?
Let's flip the script here. Ukraine harbors Zelensky as he is deemed a criminal by the Kremlin. Ukraine refuse to give him up. The war in Ukraine is justified.
Do you see the problem with your argument here?
If it's good enough for the west to invade a foreign, sovereign country in order to get 1 man, then it should be good enough for anyone else. You can't have double standards.
> Literally all the other "Western" countries were very strongly opposed and refused to participate.
The opposition from the other countries was a show. Nobody kicked the US out of the SWIFT payment system, nor were any sanctions places on the US.
> It was an unjust war.
The fact that you can't bring yourself to say that it was an illegal war is very telling. Using an euphemism here is rather bold if you ask me.
