No? We just gonna sit around and let Nazi Germany 2.0 happen? Maybe waggle your finger a bit at them? Cool. Yeah. Okay. I love our leaders, they're so commited to the freedom and wellbeing of their people.

God I wish the Red Army was here to save our asses like last time.

I wouldn't call it "winning" when your invasion leads to nothing but state collapse, formation of ISIS and US troops getting merced by IEDs. Regional instability may be an outcome the US can live with, but it wasn't the military goal of the invasion, they wanted to turn Iraq into a regional ally like postwar Germany and they didn't come anywhere close to that.

What's the evidence for that being the goal of the invasion? The US invaded Iraq to loot the country and destabilize the region. What's my evidence for this? It happened. It's what they did.

I don't see how any of these things are bad for the American ruling class.
