        Oppressive was the word you were looking for.

                    Stable and oppressive are not mutually exclusive.

                    First, you said it was not oppressive, but stable, but nice try.

                    Second, they very much are. Oppression does not create a stable society, it merely bottles up tensions. But I wouldn’t expect a tankie fuck who gets hard over the deaths of minorities to understand that.

                    But you have fun jerking off to a million dead Iraqis.

                    Wanna remind me how many Iraqis Saddam’s regime killed?

                    God, imagine being so intellectually and morally bankrupt that you simp for Saddam’s Iraq. That’s some peak brainrot. I would say tankies never cease to amaze, but honestly, I’m not even a little surprised.

      Ever? Or in recent times?

      There were hundreds of years of peace before the US was even conceived.

            You… you do realize that the crusades weren’t the only military conflict in the Levant, right?

            … right…?

              You do realize that things were quiet for centuries after the crusades right?

                    There was a bit of a minor scrap with some basically unknown fellows called the Mongols, and then there were the quarrels between the Mamluk Sultanate and the Turks, the constant rebellions and civil wars, then the Ottomans and the pseudo-feudal wars, separatist movements, and peasant revolts of that period, which include both prior-to and after the US’s founding.

        The Ottoman Empire was slowly conquering Iraq in the 1500, and uprises were happening from the 1600 on.
