But those wars are typically fought to maintain the US status, to preserve its ability to debase the national currency effectively siphoning wealth from the world economy. Self-preservations comes first. I'm just describing the system.
- airstrike 5mo agoWhich of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran were fought to maintain US status?
- margalabargala 5mo agoAll of them. Afghanistan as a response to 9/11, Iraq as a regional power flex and entrenchment. The first certainly preserved US status more than letting 9/11 go unanswered, the second to remove a hostile regional power and replace it with a friendlier government. Now in Iran, the intention was to repeat Venezuela and effect regime change in a hostile country, bolstering America's military status. Whether these wars have the effect they intend is beside the point; you're asking why they were fought, not whether they resulted in "Mission Accomplished".
