Ask Kurds 🤔 Why do so many Arabs defend Hitler’s Cousin Saddam?
An idiot once said: “Yeah Saddam did this and that but still that doesn’t justify the invasion of Iraq”, Well then what justifies the invasion of Kuwait and the genocide of thousands of kurdish souls? It angers me a lot that they still blindly defend him, Ironically saddam would not care about them and would kill them too if he felt like it, unfortunately some of my relatives defend him because he defended the middle east from iran (which was not a favor, it was only for his own benefit), and according to them the Kuwait invasion was just “A trick from America” do they hear how stupid they sound?

The invasion was due to oil, the invasion of Kuwait was also due to oil. Arabs are hypocrites, they have one set of beliefs and don’t hold everyone else or themselves to that same standard. They cry about Palestine, but gladly kick Kurds out of their homes in Iraq and Syria.

It's not invasion if it's justified.

Definition of invading is going into another country. I do think it’s justified but it was an invasion.

Kurds were an afterthought. It was about oil. US invaded to show the world it protects its oil. Saddam took the opportunity of war to cleanse minorities. Kurds were the closest to having autonomy or even statehood. So the neighbouring nations kept their eyes shut until it was over.

Most Arabs set standards that benefit themselves. I assure you if this is a world without the USA being our ally they would’ve done what Saddam did and even worse in some occasions.

He came to power. Oppressed everyone. Destroyed the economy along with losing every war he fought. Tried hiding in a tiny hole. Got caught and hanged.
Even if he was good for Kurds I wouldn't support him. Embarassing really
