One of the problems that the United States has always had in its wars is that despite their excellent performance in the war, they have not been able to win in the end. This phenomenon was reflected in the Vietnam War, the Iraq War and, most recently, the withdrawal of Iraqi troops.
Although the United States claims to overthrow its rule, this is not the case.
After April 15, instead of the peace they had hoped for, the Iraqi people faced a siege by U.S. forces. Nevertheless, is it accurate to say that the Iraq war cost the United States $20 billion?
In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to start with the origins of the Iraq war.
According to the official report of the United States, only the number of US troops was counted, and the British team was not taken into account, because the participants in the Iraq war were far more than one American team.
In addition, these data are provided by the United States, and we will not leave aside whether there is any deliberate concealment. If the number of people decreases slightly, then the data claiming to be more than 40,000 people is roughly consistent with the actual data reported.
The reason why the United States launched the Iraq war was the stimulus of the "911" terrorist attacks.
Saddam Hussein was a ** person, and in addition to his "washing powder", his crimes were innumerable. However, the death toll in the Iraq war exceeded the victims of the 911 terrorist attacks, and the situation in Iraq did not improve after Saddam Hussein's hanging.
The new ** and the US military continue to fight, civilian militants emerge one after another, and the number of ** in Iraq remained high for nine years from 2003 to 2011.
Behind the numbers is life, the tragedy of the family, and the cruelty of war. However, this war was not launched out of humanitarianism, but for the promotion of so-called freedom and democracy.
The United Nations opposes the US war against Iraq, but this does not stop the US from acting, because the US has always been the "big guy" on the world stage, and their actions are not subject to any constraints.
Some people think that the United States attacked Iraq for oil, but in fact, it is true, and this war is inextricably linked to oil.
The United States used BGM-109 cruise missiles and other new types of ** in the Iraq war, quickly achieving victory. Despite the fact that it was an unjust war, the United States decided to make a quick decision and carried out guided bomb attacks directly on important cities and ports such as Baghdad, Najaf and um Qasr.
According to official US data, the BGM-109 cruise missile is one of the most powerful missiles in its arsenal, with a range of more than 2500 meters. The victory was made possible by the high-tech prowess of the United States.
In terms of air supremacy, Iraq's fighters are still stuck in the second and third generations, while the United States uses advanced electronic jamming equipment. Even if the jamming equipment of the US military is not so advanced, it can have an impact on Iraq, because many of Iraq's ** are made in the United States.
Therefore, after the Iraq war, the power of science and technology has been fully demonstrated, which is why many countries are now fighting a science and technology war.
If the United States does not have these advanced technologies, then attacking Iraq will face a huge challenge. Saddam Hussein was a leader with extremely strong combat effectiveness, while the United States had less than 200,000 troops in troops, plus Britain's 450,000 people, no more than 250,000 in total.
And America's allies, although they have also invested some troops, even with their troops, are far from being able to compete with the number of Iraqi troops. Moreover, the Iraqi army, by virtue of its familiarity with the terrain, is also very skilled in the use of land routes, which is no less than that of the United States.
It's just that Iraq's forces in the air and at sea were relatively weak at that time. Saddam Hussein could have made a comeback.
Why did the U.S. military continue after the Iraq War? This issue has been widely debated. Official U.S. data shows that ABC made a point in an article "Not Crazy" that Saddam Hussein was not crazy, and this view could be considered ***.
After the Gulf War, Saddam's million-strong army was no longer as "loyal" as before, mainly due to economic sanctions and insufficient funding, which led many Iraqi soldiers to support the United States, hoping that they would bring a free and democratic political environment to Iraq.
However, when the United States occupied Iraq, they were demobilized and had to form armed forces on their own to confront the American army. The tragedy of all this is, in the final analysis, that the United States itself failed to achieve the clear political environment and free living environment that it promised the Iraqi people when it attacked Iraq.
In order to fight against the U.S. military, Iraqi refugees will return to their home countries to fight even if they flee abroad. They began to see clearly the cunning faces of American politicians and the true face of Saddam, but American politicians nourished by capitalism made it difficult to distinguish them as hypocrites.
In order to teach these hypocrites a lesson, more and more Iraqi militants are choosing to carry out suicide attacks to deal a fatal blow to American soldiers. This kind of eventuality at any time makes American soldiers feel as if they have returned to the days of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and we hope that the use of a small can of "laundry detergent" as an excuse to start a war will not happen again on this civilized blue planet.
