Oh, was Iraq bad? I was told by shitlibs that the guy in charge of the government who we put there to secure resources and kill leftists had suddenly and overnight become the ultimate villain and we would be greeted as liberators. I was told that if I disagreed with total war I was a ~~Putin shill~~ Saddm lover. What ever happened to that? Seems like everyone is pretending they never supported it now.

Anyway, no time to think back and learn from the past. We have to support this nazi government that we installed to secure resources and kill leftists! These are our nazis, that makes it okay! Operation Paperclip? Idk sounds like some commie conspiracy theory!

Like what's the common American denominator here dude? Reeeally think about it. Also you don't know what imperialism is, or you wouldn't be using a definition that classifies the D Day landings as "imperialist".

Some bad people in it

"Just a few seig heiling bad apples in the heights of government and military power"

Overall this is a truly shit-tier analogy, try harder. You are the Humvee-driving Iraq war cheerleader in this metaphor.

You read and write like an LLM, I'm saying both wars are bad

Liberals and dehumanization, an iconic duo

Yeah every war is "bad" genius, if that's the extent of your analysis then you're useless. Try actually engaging with any of my points and then we can talk.

One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

Was Iraq bad? Ofc. Who installed saddam in the first place? Trump is telling: Americans first create the mess, buy the dips ( like Iraqi gold), then either flee like in Afghanistan, or try to reach some kpi for allied press. American imperialism is a cancer.
