It's a sad fact that the Iraq War was completely unnecessary and unjust. Our reasons for invading were all fallacious, and we can't spin it around to it being a "humanitarian war" as that's bullshit. We've never been involved in a war for humanitarian reasons. If anything we brought untold suffering and death on the Iraqi people.

Considering we had no reason for invading, how can we ask another country for war reparations? This would be like Russia demanding payments from Ukraine after their invasion, which was arguably far more legal than ours.

You can't topple governments of other sovereign nations and steal their resources. That's a violation of the Geneva Convention and a war crime.

Explain how any of this makes sense.

It was a mistake. I can't move it.

Can a mod just delete it?

I did rickshaw it. Then he just posted the thread again lol. I was about to infract him for being a dipshit but it turned out I was the dipshit :(

It doesn't seem like a thread worthy topic though. Easily within the purview of the politics thread.

We can ask for war reparations because we have the power to do so. Thread over.
