I remember reading about the Iran-Iraq War in college and its echoes of World War I (trench warfare, poison gas). Little did I know that, 40 years later, I'd be reading about a new war (Russia-Ukraine) with echoes of WW1. And, once again, the U.S. is heavily involved, providing and profiting from weapons deals.
Though I suppose this time we're destroying pipelines, not urging Saddam to build one to Israel.
Has the U.S. ever met a war it didn't like?

Hell, look at Yemen. Not only do we cover up for the Saudi genocide there, we help the Saudi barbarians commit their crimes.
But for some baffling reason, we aren't treated to lurid depictions of Saudi atrocities on the Nightly News, but boy howdy do we hear about Ukraine.
