conflicts that you regret happened

Not for CIA.

>it's literally pointless
Revenge for 9/11 and an end to terror. Bin laden is dead and there hasn't been a second 9/11, so we won.

I wouldn't want anything changed if that's what you mean. History's history.

That said on the US side of things, WWI Vietnam and Iraq are the bigguns when it comes to pointless wars that only benefited elites.

World War 1 and save the West. Literally the Archduke just doesn't take that one street and is fine.

>>35063401
You seriously think that if the route was altered at the last minute, WWI wouldn't have happened?

I fought Jaish Mahdi in Iraq. They killed alot of Americans. The average joe dick has no idea who that is, and for the most part they are allied with the current regime. Biggest waste of the war. Hard to come to terms with mentally

>>35063548
You do know how he was shot right? The guys going to shoot him all failed and the man who needs no name gave up and went to a sandwich shop to grab a bite cause he was a failure. Then he looks out the window and sees his car roll by. So he wen't outside and shot him. Literally if he did not go down that street he would not have been shot.

>>35063607
What I'm really asking is if you honestly believe that WWI wouldn't have happened at all if the Archduke wasn't killed?

Oh fuck no, but the point is If I could prevent any war it be that one. Even if he didn't the set of alliances and hatred at each other would only put the war off for so long. Humanity is built for war and even now we can feel the throbbing war boner, much like they would if it didn't start for long enough.

All wars America fought except the war of 1812

I like that. Thank you, komrade

World War 2. Britain had to be edgy fucks and resist Germany's attempts at diplomacy for what? A terrifying government nanny state that actively supports Mohammad cucking them into nonexistence.

>>35063552
Well, they eventually stopped shooting at the Iraqi government because it was costing them so many KIA.

At least now there's a Shia ethnostate and ISIS instead of just a Lebanon-style free-for-all.

>>35063720
Korea is a tease.

The First Chechen war is really depressing

>the vast majority of Russians fighting it were just too poor to get out of the draft
>entire society is so thoroughly corrupt that the soldiers get failed on every level
>something like ten civilians killed for every one combatant
>something like 75% PTSD rate among Russian survivors of the war
>kills what little hope was left for a free Russia
>war didn't even resolve properly, the Caucasus is now a permanent combat zone

>>35063725

Germany deserves every misfortune it gets, as their only accomplishments in history have been ruining Europe.

Rome could, and should, have killed them all.

I'm not mad desu. It was what it was.Just weird fighting Shia nationalists instead of jihadis.I'm comfortable with Iraq, and I see myself being able to return to Baghdad one day soon to my view my AO, sip some chai. Not hold any grudges

>>35063815

the CIA didn't do that, the contrived left vs right "divide" is a creation of k street

The American, French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions. WWI and II. The War of Northern Aggression.

I'm just saying, it wasn't totally pointless.

Getting the various ethnic paramilitaries under control enabled the Baghdad government to coalesce into something resembling a state, which is why things didn't go full-on Somalia.

Also, I just read this book, is it true that the three guys before patraeus were incompetent dildos?

I think the entire advisory team for GWB or the state department were incompetent idiots, but that is monday morning QBin. They didn't understand anything about the cultural/secular lines in Iraq, which is insane looking back

Literally lead to global political reform. Know why nearly every country on the planet, even the worst shitholes on earth, claim to be republics? America, bitch.

If you like licking monarchist boots, which you probably do, then get fucked. You already lost anyway.

>>35063906
Frankly, I think most of the people smart enough to run a big war successfully aren't dumb enough to get into a big war.

The only exceptions to this are guys like Truman or Bush Sr who had one dumped on their lap.

>>35058441
Iraq was the pointless one you retard

>something like ten civilians killed for every one combatant
Pretty sure that's normal these days though.
