    We didn’t go to germany, germany came to us.

    Just like usa did many times.

    And i don’t think it was so obvious at the time. Russia was massing weapons, middle east had problems, and tensions were everywhere.

      You’re being obtuse about the definition of “go to war”. If they invade your country and you fight back you’re still going to war.

        Fair enough. But in the context of usa it never had a defensive war, always the agressor. And the propaganda was “they have bio weapons of mass destruction and will use them”, and later “they terrorists”. None of which was true. Iran was far from innocent either.
