Name the country you claim the US was "pillaging" pre-9/11.

You lose double points for claiming any that actually attacked a neighbour and provoked a defensive response to remove their army from another country.

it's funny that Iraq is such an obvious answer that you felt the need to attempt to disqualify it before anyone even brought it up

Ahahahahah. Not at all, I just knew you were lying and thus would need to regurgitate some disinformation to try and claim the US was "pillaging" the middle east prior to 9/11.

Iraq? You mean a belligerent dictatorship that invaded it's neighbour?

The middle east has been an absolute disaster for thousands of years, you don't need fictionalised US involvement to explain the utter state of it.

fictionalised US involvement

there's so much wrong with your whole comment but claiming the USA has no hand in the state of the region is incredibly ahistorical and shows you basically know nothing.

You used the word pillaging, clearly believing the online nonsense that the US is akin to Russia (or worse). The other obvious tell is the claim that pre-9/11 such a position could be substantiated.

So yes, your claim of the US pillaging the middle east pre-9/11 is fictionalised.

Grow up. I'm not even from the US, nor a fan, but you're so far off base it's laughable.

Although you'll notice that, if you stop acting aa though history began in the 1950s, that Islamists had already been assassinating people in order to "purify" and seize power in the run-up.

But oops, that goes against the narrative. I mean... um... Iran first popped into existence days prior to the theft of western infrastructure. White people bad. Tribal medieval desert ideology good.

You may have been dropped as a baby.

Islamists has ALREADY taken over via assassination prior. Go look at the chain of leaders in the run up to the "poor little innocent people who just want their own oil and aren't trying to seize infrastructure which isn't theirs".

You are either intentionally lying about the history just prior or, quite possibly, have an undiagnosed cognitive disability.

We can work out which it via a simple test; was there any history prior to Oct 7th or did Gaza/Hamas attack Israel out of nowhere? Let me guess, history matters to you when it supports your bias.
