          It’s so weird to me that people still think the Iraq War was about oil lol

          That argument didn’t have legs to stand on in 2002 and it sure as shit wasn’t helped by the passage of time.

            Oil factored in, but a large part of the driver was war profiteering, and then the boundless opportunities after war.

            And feeding the military complex in general.

          That “fire” was started long before the US was even stolen from the indigenous people.
