Protecting freedom and democracy…

...by means of kleptocracy.

By the way, speaking of freedom and democracy, how are things with that in Iraq now? And why is the U.S. spending $270 billion on the war in Ukraine against Russia instead of on Iraq?

My understanding is Iraq is in a much worse state than when the USA first got a god complex about it.

With regards to Ukraine, they’re probably spending that money because they are psychopaths.

It’s pretty unhealthy going round the world killing people and robbing stuff. It’s not what Jesus would do.

Saddam stacking hard

One of the first buildings to get burglarized when our troops reached Bagdad was the museum of Sumerian and Babylonian artifacts.

Wonder how many toilet seats were made with those
