Rumsfeld told sadaam that he would accept the invasion of Kuwait, and furthermore Iraq never actually did anything in kuwait and it was liberated by arabs.
Americans failure to genocide the Palestinian population of kuwait was a strategic defeat in the gulf war. America lost the gulf war, failed basrah uprising too.
America retreated within four days and had no effect on the ground. The main event was the air war although America also failed to bomb Iraqi bases and just shot down some bombers and unarmed aircraft.
Iraqi scuds were a threat to Israel and a major factor in the war. The single largest consequences was to threaten Israel as it is today bombed by Iran.
The gulf war was significant, more interesting than WW2 by far in terms of missile combat, surface to ship missiles, ballistic, and RPG use. A rare war where all of these were used. Capitalism is literally retards.
Usually his is fixated on infantry and people dying so it focuses on wars with dead people and not wars that were interesting.

I didn't mention Iran but also Iran aided the kurds and provoked the war and Iraq didn't have any control over that, Iran was already supporting insurgents and Iraq goal was to just fight a brief war to deter further aid.
Irans later invasion of Iraq was the real war and Iran lost. It wasn't yet in their calculations to take over Iraq and they didn't have insurgent organizations available.

He needed to unite Arabs and Muslims under his regime. Iraq could've become a superpower had they gotten all of Iranian, Kuwaiti and Saudi oil. Instead of uniting they are fractured and fighting amongst themselves to this day.
He was a saint.

Iraq War was based and I'm sick of pretending otherwise

>might have possibly invaded the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

He did, what was what the Battle of Khafji was about

>>18082901
Iran isnt muslim and kuwait is a not a real country so i dont get whats so inconsistent about this

>>18082950
Holy fucking cope
Without question saddam started the war, pushed in and then ultimately got stalled out and then beaten, badly.

>>18082901
Iran isn't an Arab country, moron.

Sacrificing white men to secure Israel's existence is pretty based.

Saddam's stated goal was the annexation of the arab majority parts of southwest iran. It was a war of conquest.

>>18084006
No it wasn't. He never said that. There is no Arab majority in any part of Iran. There is a Shia majority in southern Iraq.
The only relation there was kurds which both sides clearly opposed and nobody is going to start a war for kurds.

>>18082901
>gets in an 8 year war with Iran.
Iran isn't arabic. They have a small arabic probince there.
He could justify the invasion with "protecting" the arab region there.
>invades Kuwait
>might have possibly invaded the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
He couldn't unite these regions if he didn't conquer them in the first place.

>toppling Saddam was an exclusive and hyper specific Israeli interest!
JDS is a real issue that needs to be solved.

Saddam was a secular Ba'athist cuck, not a Pan-Arab or Islamic leader. He gassed fellow Muslim Arabs (the Kurds) and started a jihadipilled war with Iran that killed a million Muslims. He was a tyrant who exploited political Islam and the Palestinian cause to simpbait the Arab street while crushing his own people. True pan-Arabism/Islamic unity would have ostracized his regime for its crimes. Don't fell for the aesthetic.

He was usa installed, same for any other gov in the region
then when he did his job of destabilizing and weakening the region, he was removed
many such cases

He was going to liberate the Arabs of Ahwaz under the yoke of Persian oppressors

Kuwait is rightful Iraqi land carved up by White KKKolonialists so it was a literal just war of reconquest
