The freedom has to be extracted from the crude oil in these countries, so that it can be shipped to its rightful place stateside in the Strategic Freedom Reserves

Okay, like two/thirds of this post are just fucking brain-dead. (Not an American btw.)

Afghanistan and Gulf War were the most straightforward of all conflicts US has been involved in in the 21st century.

Afghanistan - that's where the Taliban were, and the Taliban did 9/11 (kinda, Al Qaeda did, but they had ties, and bin Laden was there for a time). The only problem was that the US didn't consider the regional politics and allied with Pakistan, which was funding the Taliban, since stable Afghanistan was bad for Pakistan.

Gulf War - he, y'know, INVADED KUWAIT! What the fuck is so difficult to understand about "Invading sovereign states is bad actually"!?

Iraq War was bad though 100%

IDK man it kind of feels like you’re the one being obtuse, not engaging with the critique of imperialism.

to respond,: Afghanistan. Taliban. Did 911. US invaded over it. …Okay. And then…And uh.then., Lost. Lost, rather badly, as I heard it. Oh and they gave Lockheed Martin and Raytheon 50 trillion dollars.

My issue with Kuwait is like, the US is still there. And it has been the entire time.
