And the number there should be is 0, I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make here. People didn’t want a war in Iraq in 2003, there were mass peaceful protests, and yet it still happened.

The number absolutely should not be 0. It’s a nation which actively funds and mobilizes religious extremists who execute homosexuals and treat women as cattle.

Which wasn’t the case before the invasion, when there were 0 US troops. Why the fuck do you bring up current day when I’m talking about protests that happened over 20 years ago (by people who knew the current outcome was likely)?

Are you confused about which comment thread you’re in? You said initially that the protests LESS than 20 years ago of the Iraq War were impotent and I pointed out that the US Involvment in Iraq sharply declined as a result of those protests, despite anti-NATO religious extremism presence growing in the region for many of the following years.

Jesus fucking Christ this post alone should be considered an act of violence for it’s sheer depravity and mockery of millions of deaths. The US did it’s thing in Iraq for 15 years, utterly failed, made lots of people rich and then they left. How dare you claim that was success for the anti-war movement. What is wrong with you? What the fuck does is “Anti-NATO religious extremism?” This is suspiciously nonsensical. Is a chat bot writing your responses for you?

The protests didn’t do anything to that, it was the insurgency causing a steady supply of body bags to come back.
