Of these is Iraq the most intriguing for excuses for war, and where the US lost any credibility on consistent ethics. We have a leader who was mistreating the Kurds long before any diplomatic interest of the US. Then the US loves them, Kurds not withstanding. So now we have the garden tea parties between Reagen and Saddam. Then the Iraq attacks, (according to brain washers like CNN and it’s accomplices, and probably due to a bad deal on oil. See Egypt and diplomatic threats by US ambassador when Egypt wanted to side with Russia on oil deal.), then Saddam is a genocidal maniac for mistreating the Kurds and is painted as an evil villain. Iraq loses the war and his defense requests global trial and is refused. The latter says it all.
Personally I don’t get it.
The excuses for war or diplomacy aside for the time being, what are the odds that a nation will find itself at war on average every 3 to 5years. Throw in that it is the most powerful militarily, (well, OK, NV also claims this and can prove it.), and to anyone that smacks of warmongering.
Now, what is most common of these warmongering nations? They need to test new equipment in a timely basis, better in live combat situations, and justify their long standing military to their people.
So all of these add up to one thing, and you and I know what is happening.
