      What about the Iraq invasion gave you the impression they were there to help to the people?

        There are only villains in these proxy wars, no heroes, but the USA supposedly tried to fight against theocracies and extremist paramilitants. They always operated under the guise of rightous necessary intervention.

        Sadly the results of their withdrawal from Afghanistan and release of 5000 taliban fighters, both Trump era decisions, shows the USA actually was holding back the tide of baddies in some cases.

        You know, all the bombing and killing civilians. How else do you generously spread democracy?

      It was trivial to buy a chicken on the local economy. You could get anything for 5 USD or less.
