The argument that "it was all about the money" stopped sounding smart ten years ago. Now it's just dumb shit that hipsters say to try and seem smarter than everyone else, and doesn't at all take into context the historical facts lmao.
The US invaded Iraq because they saw an opportunity to remove Saddam Hussein from power. He was seen at the time as one of the biggest threats to global security - he'd invaded Kuwait just twelve years before, leading to a global military intervention.
On top of that he was a brutal tyrant who killed hundreds of thousands of his own people, and the Bush government legitimately believed that it was just a matter of time before he would develop weapons of mass destruction to ensure he would never be removed from power. So they thought they had to act to remove him while they had the opportunity, and hopefully build a democracy in the Middle East.
Did they fuck it up? Yes. Did they lie about Iraq already having weapons of mass destruction? Also yes?
But did they invade "tO mAke mOneY". Fuck no.
Go back to elementary school if you need to dumb down complex geopolitical decisions to "they wanted da money" you idiot.

What a dumb and simplistic take. You probably also think the US invade Iraq for oil? Yeah man, it had nothing at all to do with removing the Talibam after 9/11.

Trudeau is the Canadian Trump: not in ideology, but in the way that he has a large base that will vote for him literally no matter what he does.
