It is irrelevant.
You said we stood alone, I said we did not. I gave our partners. Their
contributions, whether in troops, training, money, or support in other
ways(such as housing refugees) will vary and are irrelevant to the argument.
Iran is/was anything but depleted. The Iran/Iraq war had been over for
many years.

Seems to me we are doing it to ourselves. Spending how many
billions trillions on the unnecessary Iraq Invasion and occupation?
Spending what will no doubt be over a trillion on profitizing big
companies that have failed. Sending how many billions to oil-rich
countries? Selling our country to China and how many others more sane
than we?
