How to Destroy a Country

“The UN, a.k.a the US” 💀

Finally a useful tutorial

As an Iraqi who unfortunately still lives in Iraq I can confirm that Iraq is like a fever dream

My uncle was a 16 year old when he fought in the Iran Iraq war. There was an Iraqi general who was shooting at the Iranian soldiers by himself. He made some good shots and kept going till he ran out of bullets. My uncle said he was this huge buff dude, and my uncle and his squad mates went to see him once he had stopped shooting. One of the Iranian soldiers offered him some water as they saw he had been shot, but he was still on the adrenaline of the fight and wacked the water canteen away. This dude was so huge that he literally hurled the soldier like 2 feet from where he was standing with one arm. My uncle saw that he had actually been shot in the leg and was losing a lot of blood. My uncles arm had been skinned during a squirming and he had a keffiye wrapped around it, but he saw that the Iraqi general was losing a lot of blood. He knelt to take the keffiye off of his own wounds to wrap around his leg so he didn't lose too much blood, and felt a wetness on the top of his head. He looked up to see the general crying. My uncles selfless deed and that giant buff generals emotional reaction showed that Iranians and Iraqis didn't want to kill eachother, we loved each other and saw each other as brothers. We have all put the war behind us, and none of my family harbours any ill feelings towards Iraq, even though they were the ones that invaded Iran, and even though we lost two of my uncles in the battle field. The wests interference and suddams sociopathic actions destroyed Iraq and led to countless deaths on both sides. It was a war between brothers, and the people on both sides genuinely cared about eachother. Even today I as an Iranian have nothing but love to give to the Iraqi people, they have been through so much just as we have, and I pray one day they will find peace and freedom

Step 1) Trust the British Step 2) Become a British protectorate Step 3) oh fuck I can't believe you've done this

As someone who wants to destroy a country, I see this as a big W

Really informative while entertaining. I wish we had these types of YouTube channels back when I deployed to Afghanistan. I spent a year there and had no idea as to why we were there or the strategic goal. I was very confused. I just followed orders but I can't tell you to this day, over a decade later, what our goal was - other than to "win hearts and minds" and "get home safe".

If I was a teacher I’d def use this guys videos to teach kids. Tbch with you it’s a lot of information in there with some jokes as well. It keeps you watching and actually paying attention.

Saddam the type of guy to have a lightbulb pop up whenever he thinks of an idea

Great geopolitical education, this man knows how to entertain

1. Have oil. 2. Don't give it to the USA. The rest will happen without your help.

i actually love your editing style dude you make history(formerly my worst subject) funny and still keep every fact in😭

My dad was in Syria as a tourist when 9/11 happened. He recalls someone ushering him into a bar to look at the television. He left the next day. Me and my dad have a great love of architecture and history, it’s caused me so much pain to see one of the historically wealthiest parts of the world get torn apart like it has been. I may not be from the Middle East, but that doesn’t mean I can’t despair about the situation there. Never forget Palmyra. So much has been lost, but hopefully some of it can be regained

As an Iraqi who lived under Saddam's regime and witnessed most of these events, this brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of the many horrors I've seen. But I have to say this video is very accurate in portraying Iraq's recent history. it won't be an exaggeration to say that he did a better job covering this than most (if not all) main stream media outlets. I also liked that h0ser mentioned (Towards the end of the video), how Iraq was broken even before the US invaded it. I deeply believe that Iraq shot itself in the foot way before the gulf war or the 2003 invasion. Iraqi leaders and political elite are highly incompetent and with their sheer stupidity and the support of their loyalists destroyed the country, and made sure it won't have a stable future. I hope to see a video in the future talking about, how having land borders with 6 countries (3 of them are major regional players) contributed to the geopolitical instability of Iraq, and how Iran and other countries are having proxy conflicts to suck up its wealth. that would be great. Thank you @h0ser for covering this. very accurate and entertaining even if it made me bit sad.

how am i only finding this channel now. absolutely amazing essays/coverages on historical topics. and sources.

your editing is the best thing about your videos, i appreciate all the added sound effects that are only used for half a second

As a Lebanese i love how u mentioned us as an olive oil corrupt nation. Couldn’t be more true

The parts with Hoser explaining all the dumpsterfire madness while an Arabic version of Blinding Lights (Moroccan singer Rachid Aseyakhe) is playing in background are peak Youtube art

this video was a banger. Animated, entertaining and informative from start to finish! 🔥

as an iraqi, i will like to say some things. as of 2023, iraq is a beautiful place with nice people, in my time there i haven’t seen a single robbery, and all the people are nice. it is very hard to find a bad person. they don’t have many cops but they have military soldiers, and most of the place is sand. although it is a third world country with a bad economy, it is one of the coolest places to live in. it is very easy to strike it rich, with pharmacies being huge. there are multiple shrines, almost to none expensive stores, and there is free food for the poor near these shrines(mostly volunteers that send food). all the houses in iraq are mansions, unlike what the news shows you such as sand or dirt homes. iraq has some okay technology, other than the best phone they sell for ios is the XS max, but in reality who really needs a better device then the X. lastly, id say the biggest issues in iraq is the broken up roads and the bad network, but that is it.
