It is certainly interesting, reading all the commiserations about the invasion of Iraq, on its twenty year anniversary and how Iran was the only real winner, knowing we will be reading the same crap in twenty years about this screw-up and how Russia was the only winner.
Our erstwhile leaders, aka, bank flunkies, have all the strategic aptitude of bacteria racing across a petri dish. Their only real function is to create the public debt the banks need to function and what these psychopathic children do with all that wealth is up to them. Better to blow up other countries, than give it to anyone domestically who might be in some future position to argue with them.
Fortunately the banks imploding will bring it all crumbling down. Debt doesn't matter, until it does.
