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
Good story
Good story, but what did the West do to make Iraq invade Iran? I think we may have helped arm them, but I don’t think we made him invade. Too be honest, I don’t think the US specifically really liked either Iran or Iraqs government at the time.

@@DeadPixel1105 dude war stories from Iran are super common because literally every man above the age of 50 had to go war in the 80s. War stories from 16 year olds is also really common because there were so many child soldiers. You're saying I'm lying but this is probably the first time youve ever even learned what the Iran-Iraq war is, I've had 2 of my uncles die in it, and multiple of my uncles disabled because of it. Are you gonna say a US veterans war story is cap? Or do you reserve that attitude for middle easterners?

I spent a year there and had no idea as to why we were there or the strategic goal. I was very confused.

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.
I hope you're doing well now. I can only imagine what you had to go through... Stay safe and may Allah protect you.
As an American I never have actually heard the history of Iraq before the war, instead all I've heard was America is to blame for how Iraq is today.
As an American, I'd like to offer a sincere apology for the incompetence and recklessness with which we approached the situation. This informative video has shown me that the issue was and is far more complex than either political party in my country would have me believe.
Brother, thank you so much for not saying Saddam is great. My father lived under him and he slaughtered most of his family in cold blood, by either executions, or just plain starvation. Maybe even war. Iraq in the 80's and 90's was not a good time and I refuse for anybody to say that. Thank you so so much for just acknowledging the fact that Saddam was horrible and a terrible person. I hate that fool and I truely think of the Americans as heros, as they had saved whatever family he had left and took them in as refugees, where he started a family. The US is the only reason my entire bloodline isn't six feet under, or possible sitting in a chamber of acid and chemicals. My kurdish friends and brothers have also felt the brutal strikes of Saddam and his regime.
As a guy who lives nearby iraq i can confirm. Iraq was unstable and America blew iraq's head off, leaving nothing but a mangled mess

Imo, Saddam Hussein might just be the most failed dicator I've read about
-Goes to war with Iran and loses after 8 years
- Racks up huge war debt
- Invades Kuwait to pay off debt, but then gets kicked out by west
- West then invades again because he has weapons he doesn't actually have
- Dies
Yeah he really sucked at his job. Even worse as a father, considering how his sons turned out.
I'd say Japan in WW2, starts a war they can't win at all, and ends up with most of their cities firebombed, nuked, and is now an ally to the U.S.? Vassal state? Not sure which one applies still.
While he was kicked out of Kuwait by the West he most certainly wasn't invaded by the West. It was just the US and UK who invaded them

Baghdad was a kurdish city. Bagdad in Kurdish means land of lords. Bags were lords and my family are Bags and many Kurds! If you search in Arabic there is no meaning for Bagdad and just says online city of peace which should be مدینە السلام(madina alsalam) so why don't they say madina alsalam? Because Bag dad are both Kurdish words again! Arabs, Pars/fars and Mongols/Turks stole our land, history and language. They stole everything from us Sumerians/Kurds for over a 1000 years with the help of some western countries also!
Kerbela also was a kurdish city! Ker=donkey lol
Kurds used donkeys to move goods around and one time the donkeys got sick and became problem so they named the place ker=donkey bela=problem. Ker is bela! Donkey is problem! Get it Kurds? Wake up please. Kerkuk anyone? Ker+kuk. There is a story behind every city name! The Arabs came up from Arabia and took our land!
Also Pars/ Fars new race was made during the times Arabs moved here and Kurdish kingdoms hired these gypsy Arabs and called them Pars, pars/ parastin Fars/Persian are Kurdish words and mean protecter and protecting. Fars have no idea and they even say pars for bark. They have no idea that's where their name Pars came from! They love to say they are Aria but they don't know the real words are Ar+yan= pure being/pure flame in Kurdish. Everything about Fars/Pars is a lie! They believe Evesta belongs to pars but if you gave them the book they have no idea what the words are but Kurds can read it easily because Zertosht meaning Serdasht used to be a cities name and the people from ser dasht were called ser dashty! Their leader of course was called serdashty which became zartoshti in Parsi lol
Everything Pars knows is a lie! Many Kurds were assimilated and thought they were pars/fars. Kurus is a Kurdish word and means the Boy and he was a kurdish king. But Pars have no idea what kuru even means in Frasi because again it's a Kurdish word we use everyday to say Boy!
Turks are all originated from China! Look it up! I hear Turks say they are indiginous to these lands but if you look it up you'll see all Turks are originated from China! Kurds are descendents of Sumerians, the oldest civilization on Earth so does that mean Kurds are the indiginous people along with Greeks who I belive are very close relatives of Kurds. Even Armenians are from the Balkans! They killed almost 1 million kurds with the help of Russian army and took kurdish land! Assyrians are from Arabian pennensula and their language is proof to this calim, semetic languages are not originated from Masepotamia! Kurdish is new version of Sumerian and kurds are the only people who can read Sumerians tablets. Now talk to the ✋️ Here are some examples of North Kurdish language and Sumerian similarities! Both languages are the only ergative languages in middle east! Now Pars/Fars can steal our words but they can't steal our Grammer too because they don't have the brains for it lol
Yes I became racist because I lived amongst Pars, Turkos and Arabs!

I deadass thought you said “Hey loser” for seconds
I don’t usually make comments but here goes.
I am Iraqi, this video was recommended to me randomly (and I usually click on those with relevant topics such as my country). I never thought I’d shed tears watching this video.
Most, if not all what you’ve shown is pretty much accurate. Here’s a fun fact, do you know people still praise Abdul-Kareem Qasim and Saddam for their leadership despite what they’ve done to our country? They used to teach us in elementary about Qasim, saying that he’s a great leader, who made reforms that benefited the country. As I grew up, learned English and began reading books and researching on the internet about our history, it seems this wasn’t the case. Qasim’s actions, beginning with his murdering rampage of the Hashemite family, and after, only sought to bring ruin to the country. As for Saddam, I know relatives, friends, and even family members that sometimes still praise him. I argue with them, reminding them of the atrocities he did, but they deny it and only mention that during his rule, because of the strength of the party, no other parties, radical or otherwise, had sprung up to threaten the so called “peace” back then..
The situation still hasn’t changed that much, there is still corruption, armed gangs on the loose, practically non-existing laws on firearms control, among other things, but there’s some slight hope that we might pull ourselves out of the deep hole we dug for ourselves.
Sorry for the long comment, but I had to get this out of my chest. Thanks for the video, my good friend.
Love from Babil ❤
the part about arguing about saddam is too relatable bro i swear to god now i just give up and dont even try to talk they are truly brainwashed but i kinda dont blame them bc saddams rule were technically thire "best" years of living i hope when we eventually get out of this hell hole they will realize how bad he was
Hey what do you guys think of Kurds and Kurdistan?
Dictators are experts in making the population see them as powerful/strong leaders. People in my country still glorify General Trujillo and his totalitarian regime which ended in the 60s.
And now that times are now longer as good (economically), young people that never lived in that dictatorship talk about "the great economy" of back then and say we need a dictator like that "great man". I never know if the praise for dictators comes from their ignorance of how oppressive and unequal dictatorial regimes are or because they choose to ignore it.
May the heavens bless you all in Iraq with a happier future. Free from those evil ways of thinking that lead any good nation to ruin. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent, absolutely excellent documentary. Was entertaining and very informative. Thank youuu
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.

We’re good people but we can’t defend ourselves against the rampant evil that taints Iraq. They don’t represent us but they sure do hurt us. People think that Iraqis like the terrorist groups and the war-mongering but we don’t, not mostly at least, because the first people to get hurt by them is us. It’s a damn shame.

The people didn't really give a crap about the western society that was enjoyed by a few at the top and weren't interested in stopping a strongarm group like the Taliban from retaking the government. The most pointless thing is to try and view these people as wanting what the west has. They want easy living for sure but they aren't interested in putting in the effort to get it.
@@itzopsniper1293 It was still an authoritarian state, without democracy or basic human rights.

My father was a doctor in Iraq, and he was grabbed from a Baghdad hospital, and ordered to treat the wounded Abdul Karim Kassem. He was treated well, but Kassem was killed later.
Top notch cinematography, top notch history and top notch soundtrack. A++
Im iraqi and I feel the cruelty and depravity of the usa’s actions in iraq is a bit downplayed here. My family lived through all the wars since the 1910s and they all agreed on this: none of us had seen destruction and cruelty like that which the united states inflicted on us. My aunts would always say theyd take a 100 years of saddam and 10 more wars with iran if it meant the americans wouldnt invade our country
He did that on Purpose. He is always bias in his videos.
Are you a child? No offense but this is war. Blame your past leaders for invading other nations. Ask the Iranians and The kuwaitis how they felt when you guys invaded them. The germans under the Nazis loved Hitler, but when HItler invaded everyone they didn't love it when their homes were occupied by the Soviets and the Allies after they lost.
That background soundtrack from 2:32 - 5:41 is actually an Arabic rendition of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” by Rachid Aseyakhe. I checked it out and it’s very soothing and quite beautiful.

Just realized the background music is Blinding lights but Arabic version 💀
Baghdad was a kurdish city. Bagdad in Kurdish means land of lords. Bags were lords and my family are Bags and many Kurds! If you search in Arabic there is no meaning for Bagdad and just says online city of peace which should be مدینە السلام(madina alsalam) so why don't they say madina alsalam? Because Bag dad are both Kurdish words again! Arabs, Pars/fars and Mongols/Turks stole our land, history and language. They stole everything from us Sumerians/Kurds for over a 1000 years with the help of some western countries also!
Kerbela also was a kurdish city! Ker=donkey lol
Kurds used donkeys to move goods around and one time the donkeys got sick and became problem so they named the place ker=donkey bela=problem. Ker is bela! Donkey is problem! Get it Kurds? Wake up please. Kerkuk anyone? Ker+kuk. There is a story behind every city name! The Arabs came up from Arabia and took our land!
Also Pars/ Fars new race was made during the times Arabs moved here and Kurdish kingdoms hired these gypsy Arabs and called them Pars, pars/ parastin Fars/Persian are Kurdish words and mean protecter and protecting. Fars have no idea and they even say pars for bark. They have no idea that's where their name Pars came from! They love to say they are Aria but they don't know the real words are Ar+yan= pure being/pure flame in Kurdish. Everything about Fars/Pars is a lie! They believe Evesta belongs to pars but if you gave them the book they have no idea what the words are but Kurds can read it easily because Zertosht meaning Serdasht used to be a cities name and the people from ser dasht were called ser dashty! Their leader of course was called serdashty which became zartoshti in Parsi lol
Everything Pars knows is a lie! Many Kurds were assimilated and thought they were pars/fars. Kurus is a Kurdish word and means the Boy and he was a kurdish king. But Pars have no idea what kuru even means in Frasi because again it's a Kurdish word we use everyday to say Boy!
Turks are all originated from China! Look it up! I hear Turks say they are indiginous to these lands but if you look it up you'll see all Turks are originated from China! Kurds are descendents of Sumerians, the oldest civilization on Earth so does that mean Kurds are the indiginous people along with Greeks who I belive are very close relatives of Kurds. Even Armenians are from the Balkans! They killed almost 1 million kurds with the help of Russian army and took kurdish land! Assyrians are from Arabian pennensula and their language is proof to this calim, semetic languages are not originated from Masepotamia! Kurdish is new version of Sumerian and kurds are the only people who can read Sumerians tablets. Now talk to the ✋️ Here are some examples of North Kurdish language and Sumerian similarities! Both languages are the only ergative languages in middle east! Now Pars/Fars can steal our words but they can't steal our Grammer too because they don't have the brains for it lol
Yes I became racist because I lived amongst Pars, Turkos and Arabs!

Every history class should use your vid may not be college classes but I bet a lot of students will actually pay attention to this
Loving the content. What's the name of the tune in the interlude (17.57) ?
As someone from Baghdad, The video is about 80% correct (which is still way more accurate than the westerns media with some exceptions like Vice). The main point that this video totally missed/got wrong is that unlike Afghanistan with the rise of radicalism in the 2000s, a rise of counter terrorism expertise increased within Iraq too. Many of the terror organizations you mentioned were destroyed by Iraqi forces in Iraq not by Americans, although they work together and share information most of the times. The US wasn't about to end isis in 2014 as Obama's whole thing was getting out of Iraq. Iraqis were the ones who held the initiative then and they asked for international support to do it. In fact the former Iraqi PM Haider Al-Abadi said that not one single foreign coalition solider is fighting on the frontline, they are present in camps to train and provide intel only. The US (Trump) just got to declare the victory of it for political reasons. As for the current situation, corruption and criminal militias are still the biggest issues. The video also makes fun of some atrocities that I find not funny in the slightest but this is UA-cam so Ehhh whatever. Nonetheless thank you for doing your best and bringing attention to my country.
EDIT: Please ignore any comments that say it was Russia or Iran that helped Iraq against terrorists. Both of these countries gave us old or faulty equipment for high profit margins and were paid till the very last dime. Haidar Al-Abadi also mentioned this in the same speach I mentioned above. Besides, Iran is the biggest contribution factor in the instability of Iraq as a whole since 2004!!!
This video got a lot of things wrong.
lets face it, Iraq post 2003 wouldn't have become the shit show it became if the USA had an actual plan on wtf to do after Saddam was gone.
KDP being a radical party that still acts like terrorists even though its just an autonomous state like Scotland to the UK
@@Dratchev241 US really have a bad concept of do now think later
@Dratchev241 The US was just destabilizing the country so they could keep on stealing the country's oil industry and vast oil reserves, and strengthen their occupation of Iraq.

Great video and entertaining as hell - I’d go as far as to say that Iraq was likely doomed after Baghdad fell almost a millennium ago, it really never recovered after the Mongols ravaged it. Insane that they used to be a pinnacle of science, mathematics, and art. They certainly had a chance to recover but too many strongmen doomed it for the present day at least.
Also I feel like it should be harped on more that Saudi Arabia played a very major role in 9/11. Both the Afghanistan video and this one skims over it, but that is my one qualm. Great video man

As an Iraqi, I'm glad we got a video of our horriffic recent histories. So much pain from so many different sources. We are however slowly trying to regrow. While there are still many issues we face, hopefully the next few decades will be kind to us.

As an Iraqi, it just never made sense to me why so many Arabs and Iraqis still love Saddam Hussein. I have Syrian friends who used to like him as well, but I was like he's basically Bashar Al Assad but in Iraq.

Unfortunately it is because of religion and sectarianism. Sunnis generally love Saddam and praise him. Ditto for Alawites and Shia when it comes to Assad

I'm an Iraqi Kurd and had not been educated on any of this, thank you for explaining the current situation and history of Iraq so clearly and with the humor mixed in, i also had no idea that an Iraqi president had been a kurd simp, lmao now i need to know more about him. I'm more used to racism and my own people turning against each other for money and power, believe me if the kurds or Iraqis were actually united for once to rebuild this country we would've been living a much better life. Instead we can be easily bought sold and divided into dozzens of armed groups which basically only serves in terrorising civillians.

Imagine being born in 1980’s Iraq and still being alive today. You would have no sense of security.
On the plus side, you'd have already achieved a higher life expectancy than most people born in 1980s Iraq.

Iran Iraq war was actually a pretty interesting topic using ww1 style trench warfare on a modern battlefield. But not everyone is into learning that which is fine. Still great video
And now we're seeing the same thing with drones in Ukraine.
That intro was so cool! And tbh… Chicago was probably most peoples guess
Hey, you might find it interesting that you're mispronouncing Ba'ath. The apostrophe in the middle is just a notational method of emphasizing that it is the classic Arab long A sound. Outside of English, long vowels tend to Simply be the short vowel pronounced for a longer period of time, and that is the case here.
So there is no interrupt at the apostrophe. You just hold the ah sound a bit less than twice as long.
I'm loving the goofy sound effects. They make the video more fun and energetic without being distracting.
No one will think Pyongyang as the city they'd never want to live in because Pyongyang is the PERFECT city. People don't have to pay for apartments, universal healthcare, taxes are non-existent, there are great hot-pot restaurants with karaoke, phenomenal museums, and above all, exceptional transit. Pyongyang has a beautiful metro system with 16 stations and two lines, a tram system, and trolleybuses! The majority of Pyongyang citizens travel by transit or bike, so Pyongyang is a healthy city! That aside, we've seen what has happened to Iraq and this is why we'll never trust the US and always stand our ground

You downplayed the us invasion so much one might think it was just a passing event that did not have any affect on the instability of Iraq and ridiculous death tolls and infrastructure damage that threw Iraq back to the stone ages.
