No, but if America told Iraq not to fuck with Kuwait, then they might never have invaded at all. Then Saddam wouldn’t have attacked the Kurds for helping us during the invasion.
Not to mention how we bravely stood by and let him use mustard gas on Kurdish civilians after they helped us.
We might have avoided a lot of death and destruction by being more assertive before the invasion started. I don’t think it’s as simple as calling our intervention based if our mishandled foreign policy caused the invasion to happen in the first place. Like, yeah it was good that we did one thing right, but we did things wrong that made the situation bad in the first place.
Uhh? That makes invasion of Kuwait and gassing kurds ok and immoral to intervene? What

So the USA was imperialist for…
NOT telling other countries they’re gonna attack under certain circumstances?
Please
Where did I even say America was imperialist? This isn’t hexbear. Nuance is allowed.
Giving Saddam the idea that invading Kuwait was OK is absolutely a mistake. Independent of any other fact.
