We did eventually turn Iraq around (for the most part) for the better, after a lot of blood from our soldiers and money from taxpayers.
Are you serious???????
WTF does that mean? We trashed a secular nation... in the first place... and returned to do it again and make a theocracy...re-uniting Iraq and Iran... via the Taliban... with republicl0wns blaming Saddam for 9/11 to make it all happen...
With Desert Storm (1992), we reduced one of the region's more prosperous nations to rubble. Then... we repeated the assault when it was basically defenseless 2003 Iraqi Freedom... because a cab driver gave us top-level intelligence that Saddam had WMD's
Considering our history with Iraq and Iran... the last half century... that's pretty smug... I mean omg wtf etc... smh. We didn't do them any favors.
Your remark is akin to a man taking credit for his wife's recovery once he stopped beating her.
Iraq and Iran have been turning themselves around... forrrrrrr evaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
Russia, China, Iraq, and Iran have ancient ties.
Also... the global population is 8.3 billion... let me say that again... 8.3 BILLION
Our species is but one organism out of millions... that we know of sharing the planet...
60 years ago we saw this coming... estimating that the planet could sustain 7 billion... humans... past that number... it was at the peril of other living things.
Maybe ... just maybe... It's not a problem and just the natural leveling off... seriously... It's not going to hurt anything. Wealthy country babies are destined to consume more than they need anyway...
nature taking its course...
