If Saddam had invaded and defeated Saudi Arabia before the Americans attacked, could the Gulf War's result have been different? Modern History Playlist: czcams.com/play/PLiPhmAD3I2Jz6goEJlQ1zh6KkbeBWZ2pP.html
this is satan history channel not hikmah or wise history. Saddam's body رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ did not decay. He was not aggressor in any war. Secret wahhabis work with iran. Wahhabis or salafis are iranian tribes they are exterminating arab race by friendship using salafi shia sect and weakening iraq for great aryana. Prophet ﷺ blamed problems of iraq on Iran or ajm. Iran was called ajami for most of history. Iran invaded afghanistan during soviet occupation those are iranians then american invasion. both ghani and karzai were shia iranians not afghan israelites. arabs were evil as fck. because iran is using salafi sect and infiltration to set up arabs to kill themselves for paganization because look at iran today expanded into iraq then into shaam, then all isis and terrorism is also because of them. America invaded iraq for iran. Can u believe that? They imposed sanctions for iran not fo rAmerica's benefit. America has so much oil , it does not need to depend on Arabs . It does for really low prices, but it could wean off not be so dependent. 2:120-“And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their way. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.” وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ 5:51-"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allāh guides not the wrongdoing people." يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنْهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ you see they did divide and extermination the christian and jews on behalf of aryana. becauase kuwait or some of land iraq claimed to was part of greater iraq that arabs opposed saddam taking back. to make it easier to neutralize weaken and eventually clear out area of iraq for aryana! I think today lot of arabs have woken up but its too late. Arabs were so wrong in not defending Saddam , because arabs allied with christians as Allah said they are wrogn doers, allying with wrong doers makes you wrong doer like they are, planting seeds to your own destruction which they did, look at hind sight look at arab situation today and iran is in shaam they had secretly invaded america colonizing it with asians, and desis and turks. If arabs had stood with saddam رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ not with Christians and jews who are wrong doers created this problem, the arabs would not be in their position today about to all be killed or invadeda nd place blown up for sufyani who is exterminator to 'finish job' . I also believe if Mohamad Bin Salman was leader of saudi arabia back then, they would of helped Saddam and would of forgiven debt. Because he is against ant christ, his own people because from iranian tribes not fully blooded arab like prophet ﷺ predicted, pagans support aryana. Little too late, coming into power through coup which is to save country or arabs from bad traitor arabs and muslims . Muhammad ﷺ -“Verily, preceding the False Messiah(Iranians, Desis, Asians, Turks) will be years of deception, in which the truthful are not believed, the liars are believed, the trustworthy are discredited, the treacherous are trusted, and the disgraceful speak.”(AHMAD) إِنَّ أَمَامَ الدَّجَّالِ سِنِينَ خَدَّاعَةً يُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ وَيَتَكَلَّمُ فِيهَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ when iran passes arab threshold or into arab territory this is beginning of end of world.

An important unmentioned note, Sadaam accused Kuwait of slant drilling and stealing Iraqi oil. Although there was no evidence of this it was one of his big proclamations in selling the war publicly
Just as I was ready to render and export the video I realised I missed that out. I made the decision to upload the video anyway but tbh I feel kinda bad now. I will make sure to add that in when I make the full-length Saddam biography.
@@Tacticalerthhe was defeated in 19 days not a week and the reason for that because the country was heavily sanctioned for a decade and all the neighboring countries like saudi iran israel tureky wanted him gone too So it was easy to take him down Also the propaganda war played a huge part because the iraqi people were absolutely demoralized
One of the biggest mistake saddam made was he fought too many wars in a short space of time he should have avoided at least one of them to rest his army people and give a chance for new generation to rise he instead had a tired old army in the end too exhausted to fight another war
Unlike Stalin and Hitler, Saddam is not a historic character who I’ve learned about him from history. I have personally eye-witnessed the crimes committed by this man. So many innocent civilians died in Iran and also in Iraq… Well done again!
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
There is so many thing Saddam did good, like for example he created free health care, free education, etc. And saying that Saddam did crimes against humanity just confuses me since George bush killed millions of Iraqi more than Saddam. Truly Saddam was a true leader.
Alot of people asking for what ifs in comment section Can u do: 1. If the Caliphate survived ww1 2. If Mohammad Mossadegh wasnt overthrown in iranian coup in 1953
Dude have you ever checked out the Blowback history podcast? They cover America’s wars around the world in the 20th century. 1st season was about both Iraq Wars and latest one was on Afghanistan! You’d really like it!
Thanks as always! Personally, I think she did it because ambiguous language is almost synonymous with the language of diplomacy - this way, it gives little away of your position whilst giving you multiple options on how to react to someone else's actions. But that's just my take on it, I could easily be wrong.
Thanks for the video Hikma! Granted, while I doubt anyone believes that Saddam is some sort of saint even in the most revisionist circles, I feel that this coverage of the Gulf War is missing a lot of the context as to why the US invaded Iraq as well as how many wheels the US greased to enable such an overwhelming vote with those UN resolutions. The US greenlit a $250 million loan to Iran via the World Bank to get their vote. The Soviets were also bribed with a billion in aid from Saudi Arabia. Yemen voted no and the US terminated all aid to the country to the tune of $70 million. There was also the Nayirah testimony, which was more or less a complete fabrication by Kuwait and the US to drum up support for the invasion. The first Gulf War is really nowhere near as clean cut and noble as I was led to believe. Somebody already mentioned Blowback in the comments. I would like to also recommend _The Fire This Time_ for an alternate perspective on the US' actions in Iraq and the ensuing economic sanctions regime. Some of it devolves into almost saccharine, "Sean Penn in Team America"-esque satire with it's pre-war depiction of Iraq. It's also effectively a proto-podcast/audio documentary released in 2002, so unlike modern day podcasts which can go on for hours and seem really dry, you instead have George Bush and General Schwartzkoff audio clips set to Aphex Twin. It also revealed a lot of the above claims to me and more or less reshaped my perspective on the war. While I can't verify all the claims mentioned in the album, many of them seem to be corroborated by sources from the NYT and the New Statesmen as well as many other contemporary sources. It's also an *incredibly* terrifying listen. Listening to Nails in the Wall will be guaranteed to make you angry.
Hey bro love your work and your channel is the only one i trust when it comes to authentic, detailed explanation for middle east history. Can you do a detailed video about the 6 day war in 1967? Hopefully half an hour bro ❤
Sadam was right though. He was a bulwark for the Gulf states against shiite revolutionaryism and Kuwait's breaking of OPEC quotas did hurt Iraq. I'm not even sure how anyone can earnestly argue against it.
2:40 Oh, so you're not even going to elaborate? First, Saddam initiated the war and he got support from the gulf and the US and France, they even turned a blind eye when he (saddam) used chemical weapons, you make it sound as if both sides did which is untrue. Also, saddam suppressed by force uprisings by the marginalized groups and committed heinous crimes against shia and kurds and even sunnis who opposed him. Saddam was an idiot and a criminal, both he and the USA set Iraq back. It also shows you the treacherous nature of the gulf monarchies, they were unwilling to support Iraq despite fighting on their behalf in the Iraq-Iran war.
"his wars" he invaded iran first, but they attacked first, by firing artellery on iraq and commiting other terrorist activitys. Saddam offered multiple peace offers, but khomeini kept rejecting. Second: The gulf war. Slanddrilling ruler, quickly going for the run, while his daughter runs to the states putting an act, crying crocodile tears and spreading lies together with bush, which later got all exposed (murdering babys etc. kinda familiar today to), the population was mostly even supporting him. He was celabrating together with the kuwaitis, while the rest supported him on open street, except little resistence. Later Mohammed Ali convinced him to let the american citizins go, speaking a good word for them. What they both didnt excpect to be americas green light. Got expelled from kuwait including 12 years of senctions. And the last one in 2003? Oh well, if you wanna sell oil in euros instead of dollars, they gonna knock on your door.@@chipe123o4
This is such an incredible and balanced video! When Saddam invades Kuwait he's a Nazi (true) and Bush gets on TV and tells the world we should get boots on the ground to stop this injustice, but I don't remember the press conference telling the American people they were supporting his dictatorship when he was doing what they wanted. Was it just the USA that supported Saddam on the down low, I'm Canadian, so I'd like to know how complicit we were in Saddam's dictatorship before he invaded Kuwait. I'd also like to know how the people of Kuwait responded to the west getting boots on the ground. Did they generally support that? What do they think about the west now?
just know if its US intrests in the line you a bad man if its not in the line and theylike what you doing and it benefits them you a good man and a good leader so guess who controls the world and who is the big T
It's a tab more complicated then this video as well. During the Iran-Iraq the the USSR was the largest supplier of military aid to Iraq (hence why the Iraq army was armed with T-72's, Mig 29's and SA2's). US aid was overwhelming not in strictly military hardware but in financial aid packages and low interest loans (which loans were used to buy military hardware from the USSR).
Hikma, great content as always with its precision and delivery. But please say “United States” instead of America - its more accurate and points more clearly at the US Govt’s actions rather than suggesting the whole continent (which is what America should refer to) was in support of these events.
I enjoy your videos, but I have a question. If you are Muslim (and I’m not sure if you are), why does your bio mention ‘from a non-religious perspective’? I find this phrasing degrading to Islam. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say ‘from an unbiased perspective’. There’s no contradiction between Islam and stating historical facts.
We're good fighting a conventional war. Unconventional... to be fair, no one really is. Russia couldn't take Afghanistan either, and China couldn't take Vietnam either.
Why the sunni states did't forgive or reduce iraqi debt? saddam is protecting the sunni stayes from iranian shia... If I'm in saddam position I would support the shias to operated from Iraq and spread their believes to iraqi neighbors...
@@bs5216This is the line I was thinking of. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate Hikma's work and honestly I think even having a reply is more work than you should have to put up with as you're already doing a lot (thanks for it btw), but while I agree American geopolitical influence has been disastrous at times, I believe there were a lot of factors that can be looked at for more than American greed. It didn't really ADD to the narrative or explore anything and seemed more like a needless swipe. By all means, if you did a video on the corruption of American influence the Middle East I'd appreciate it, but in this without any support it just seemed like an unnecessary inclusion. Regardless, thanks for your hard work.
I have to be honest man, it's gonna be a while before I plan on making a biography on him and anything I do on Michael will be in relation to the Ottomans!
You still find a way to blame this on the west even though we all agree who the bad guy is! By the way you forgot to mension the plights of the kuwaitis under the tyrant. But I Guess painting the U.S. as the bad guy as usual is more important
Iraq was on the verge of seizing Iran's major oil production early in the war, but inexplicably halted the offensive and turned around. This makes one wonder ...
@@Grenadier311 you remind me of the Israelis who want to enter any government building in Gaza just to take pictures with their flag to say they achieved something then withdraw, seizing an oil field doesn't mean anything especially in war where mostly all production would stop anyway
'The US has shown itself *greedily* willing to involve itself in the area, if it can benefit or protect itself...' Tell us how you *really* feel. Damn that US, looking out for its interests like any other country. Of course the dirty secret is that the US is in the middle east because Egypt, Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Israel want them there. They gain far more from US presence than the US (which has been an energy exporter since the Shale revolution and does not need middle east oil) does from being there. Which is why the US has been slowly withdrawing and Saudi has been trying to stop them from doing so.
the US is the dictator of the world, hypocrites using democracy, human rights and freedom to enslave the whole world, no one wants them accept the dictator governments that she made and support, the people don't want you
The Americans are a stateless people ruled by a Zionist government that sees the territorial integrity of "Israel" as more important than America's, that's the chief reason for involvement in the region. If the government here actually invaded countries for our interests, I would support it. But that's just not the case in reality. Washington's foreign policy has been explicitly anti-American since the First World War.
Yes you are evil, stay in your own region, the west as a whole would collapse without oil, and you are the biggest violating hypocrites of the own laws you make. @@Henry-yf2np

Saddam Hussein was framed by the USA. following a plan put in place a decade before 1991. this plan stipulated that Iraq (meaning Saddam and his regime) would be defeated within a decade. there was also a second part to this plan: the defeat of Iran (meaning Khomeini and his regime) a decade after that of Iraq, therefore from the beginning of 2000 to 2010 and we are in 2023. the plan seems to have run out of steam. we learn a lot when we read the global press and not just the US or British press. I read this in an African (or Afro-Asian?) political magazine from the early 80's in the middle of the Iranian-Iraqi war, a war which is said to have served no purpose, just deaths and propaganda which makes the Middle East an arc of crises at the heart of a regional group ranging from the Maghreb to Pakistan, mainly populated by Muslims.
The US arguably won the 1st and 2nd Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan all in a matter of months. For the last, the occupation and transition of power was lost, obviously. Saying the 2nd Iraq War was lost is revisionist history. The Ba’ath party are not in power in Iraq today nor is an insurgent group. Despite the tumult and dysfunction, the Iraqi government installed by Washington’s coalition still rules.
Lol murrica did jack during ww1 and for WW2, they just nuked Japan, Soviets win the WW2. Also, apart from Kuwaiti help, America technically lost in Iraq and obviously Afghanistan
It didnt win the Afghan war in months, it just took a while for their enemies to regroup who refused to give up. America loses wars because it fundamentally doesnt understand the reality that wars arent over until the other side accepts defeat. The 2nd gulf war,the 'iraqi government' has largely become Iran allied and as trump said 'didnt even get the oil'. The 1st gulf war was a win not just because the US' military performance, but also because of the maturity it showed in limiting its reach and not occupying the country. This type of candid practical maturity was lost and instead what we have now is an out of touch power that worships its own hubris.
If Saddam had invaded and defeated Saudi Arabia before the Americans attacked, could the Gulf War's result have been different?

Abi Ja’far said: “If the Abbas(Iranians, turks) reaches Khorasan(soviet invasion, crusaders, they are all shia, iranians, Turks who afghans were exterminated most of population fighting), (a star known as) Horn Zu-Shifa rises in the East. The first time it appeared was at the perishing of the people of (Prophet) Noah when Allah drowned them. And it rose at the time of Abraham ﷺ , when they cast him into fire, and when Allah caused Pharaoh (during Moses’s ﷺ time) and those with him to perish, and when (Prophet) John (the Baptist) son of Zakariah was killed. If you see this, seek refuge in Allah against the evilness of Fitan (strife and tribulations). It will rise after the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Then, soon the Abqa (a man seeking to rule) in Egypt will appear.”(HAMMAD)
إذا بلغ العباس خراسان طلع بالمشرق القرن ذو الشفا وكان أول ما طلع بهلاك قوم نوح حين غرقهم الله وطلع في زمان إبراهيم عليه السلام حيث ألقوه في النار وحين أهلك الله فرعون ومن معه وحين قتل يحيى بن زكريا فإذا رأيتم ذلك فاستعيذوا بالله من شر الفتن ويكون طلوعه بعد انكساف الشمس والقمر ثم لا يلبثون حتى يظهر الأبقع بمصر

Apparently.
No, there wasn't any factor which could have changed the massive gap of power between the two sides.
No, he would’ve still been doomed to failure.
He didn’t want to invade they forced him to
An important unmentioned note, Sadaam accused Kuwait of slant drilling and stealing Iraqi oil. Although there was no evidence of this it was one of his big proclamations in selling the war publicly
I'm pretty sure he won a settlement over it. He invaded because Kuwait didn't pay the last billon, from what I remember.
Just as I was ready to render and export the video I realised I missed that out. I made the decision to upload the video anyway but tbh I feel kinda bad now. I will make sure to add that in when I make the full-length Saddam biography.
@@HikmaHistory Don't feel bad, still a great video. Nobody can cover EVERY single thing.

I won't be crushed, I always live in our Hearts
Imagine having 600,000+ troops and still getting defeated in a few week
You were a monster responsible for death of millions of innocent civilians!
A dictator, a stupid one
@@Tacticalerthhe was defeated in 19 days not a week and the reason for that because the country was heavily sanctioned for a decade and all the neighboring countries like saudi iran israel tureky wanted him gone too
So it was easy to take him down
Also the propaganda war played a huge part because the iraqi people were absolutely demoralized
Your neck was literally crushed when you fell through the gallows, bro. Just sayin
One of the biggest mistake saddam made was he fought too many wars in a short space of time he should have avoided at least one of them to rest his army people and give a chance for new generation to rise he instead had a tired old army in the end too exhausted to fight another war
Unlike Stalin and Hitler, Saddam is not a historic character who I’ve learned about him from history. I have personally eye-witnessed the crimes committed by this man. So many innocent civilians died in Iran and also in Iraq…
Well done again!

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

There is so many thing Saddam did good, like for example he created free health care, free education, etc. And saying that Saddam did crimes against humanity just confuses me since George bush killed millions of Iraqi more than Saddam. Truly Saddam was a true leader.
Great documentary, keep it up!
You can hate the usa but that doesnt make saddam a good guy
Agreed.
¿ Can you please share sources in all your videos including this one ?
Alot of people asking for what ifs in comment section
Can u do:
1. If the Caliphate survived ww1
2. If Mohammad Mossadegh wasnt overthrown in iranian coup in 1953
Dude have you ever checked out the Blowback history podcast? They cover America’s wars around the world in the 20th century. 1st season was about both Iraq Wars and latest one was on Afghanistan! You’d really like it!
Hikma history gets it innnnn
Yh we do!
Great stuff! This video made me think of Saddam in the film Hot Shots with Charlie Sheen and Lloyd Bridges hahaha Such a classic
Thank you my guy! I've never even heard of that movie but will check it out!
Another excellent piece of work. Just one question, do you think ambassador didnt know or her reply was part of the script to entrap Sadam.
Thanks as always! Personally, I think she did it because ambiguous language is almost synonymous with the language of diplomacy - this way, it gives little away of your position whilst giving you multiple options on how to react to someone else's actions. But that's just my take on it, I could easily be wrong.
Make sense@@HikmaHistory
She probably fucked around and found out.
The ambassidor couldn't make contact with DC so he gave the canned reply.
Great video ❤
Amazing video
Thanks for the video Hikma! Granted, while I doubt anyone believes that Saddam is some sort of saint even in the most revisionist circles, I feel that this coverage of the Gulf War is missing a lot of the context as to why the US invaded Iraq as well as how many wheels the US greased to enable such an overwhelming vote with those UN resolutions. The US greenlit a $250 million loan to Iran via the World Bank to get their vote. The Soviets were also bribed with a billion in aid from Saudi Arabia. Yemen voted no and the US terminated all aid to the country to the tune of $70 million. There was also the Nayirah testimony, which was more or less a complete fabrication by Kuwait and the US to drum up support for the invasion. The first Gulf War is really nowhere near as clean cut and noble as I was led to believe.
Somebody already mentioned Blowback in the comments. I would like to also recommend _The Fire This Time_ for an alternate perspective on the US' actions in Iraq and the ensuing economic sanctions regime. Some of it devolves into almost saccharine, "Sean Penn in Team America"-esque satire with it's pre-war depiction of Iraq. It's also effectively a proto-podcast/audio documentary released in 2002, so unlike modern day podcasts which can go on for hours and seem really dry, you instead have George Bush and General Schwartzkoff audio clips set to Aphex Twin. It also revealed a lot of the above claims to me and more or less reshaped my perspective on the war. While I can't verify all the claims mentioned in the album, many of them seem to be corroborated by sources from the NYT and the New Statesmen as well as many other contemporary sources.
It's also an *incredibly* terrifying listen. Listening to Nails in the Wall will be guaranteed to make you angry.
Hey bro love your work and your channel is the only one i trust when it comes to authentic, detailed explanation for middle east history. Can you do a detailed video about the 6 day war in 1967? Hopefully half an hour bro ❤
Thanks man, hopefully for next year that could be an idea!
0:14: It’s even become a meme on the internet: someone finds oil, the US bum-rushes in and plunders it like a crazy pirate.
Can you make a video on gaddafi, I think gaddafi was a better leader than most people think 🤔
I never liked Saddam. I thought of him as a lunatic. But looking at everything in hindsight maybe he was what the region needed.
I think you need to look at hindsight again if you think Saddam Hussein is what the region needed

No.

I like this channel.
people in the comments saying is anti saddam or anti west, he is telling the truth and the truth will always have anti
Sadam was right though. He was a bulwark for the Gulf states against shiite revolutionaryism and Kuwait's breaking of OPEC quotas did hurt Iraq. I'm not even sure how anyone can earnestly argue against it.
A respectful unbiased historian says "Iraqi Army", a propaganda mouthpiece says "Saddam's army"
The military of iraq was led by saddam so what’s the difference
It wasn’t the Iraqi army we don’t want saddam crime to be put on the Iraqi army who didn’t have much of choices just following orders

You should cover the the 2003 US-Iraq war.
There's a surprising lack of videos on youtube as a whole on Ba'athism, I think you would be a great researcher to tackle the topic.
2:40 Oh, so you're not even going to elaborate? First, Saddam initiated the war and he got support from the gulf and the US and France, they even turned a blind eye when he (saddam) used chemical weapons, you make it sound as if both sides did which is untrue. Also, saddam suppressed by force uprisings by the marginalized groups and committed heinous crimes against shia and kurds and even sunnis who opposed him.
Saddam was an idiot and a criminal, both he and the USA set Iraq back. It also shows you the treacherous nature of the gulf monarchies, they were unwilling to support Iraq despite fighting on their behalf in the Iraq-Iran war.
he set iraq back? So you dont even have an idea, what you are talking about. What a waste of time.
@@gonfreaks937 His wars certainly did.
"his wars" he invaded iran first, but they attacked first, by firing artellery on iraq and commiting other terrorist activitys. Saddam offered multiple peace offers, but khomeini kept rejecting. Second: The gulf war. Slanddrilling ruler, quickly going for the run, while his daughter runs to the states putting an act, crying crocodile tears and spreading lies together with bush, which later got all exposed (murdering babys etc. kinda familiar today to), the population was mostly even supporting him. He was celabrating together with the kuwaitis, while the rest supported him on open street, except little resistence. Later Mohammed Ali convinced him to let the american citizins go, speaking a good word for them. What they both didnt excpect to be americas green light. Got expelled from kuwait including 12 years of senctions. And the last one in 2003? Oh well, if you wanna sell oil in euros instead of dollars, they gonna knock on your door.@@chipe123o4

WITH A LIE
So damn insane
This is such an incredible and balanced video! When Saddam invades Kuwait he's a Nazi (true) and Bush gets on TV and tells the world we should get boots on the ground to stop this injustice, but I don't remember the press conference telling the American people they were supporting his dictatorship when he was doing what they wanted. Was it just the USA that supported Saddam on the down low, I'm Canadian, so I'd like to know how complicit we were in Saddam's dictatorship before he invaded Kuwait. I'd also like to know how the people of Kuwait responded to the west getting boots on the ground. Did they generally support that? What do they think about the west now?
just know if its US intrests in the line you a bad man if its not in the line and theylike what you doing and it benefits them you a good man and a good leader so guess who controls the world and who is the big T
Kuwait is still one of the biggest American partners in the Middle East. There’s like 15,000 American troops located in Kuwait to this day.
It's a tab more complicated then this video as well. During the Iran-Iraq the the USSR was the largest supplier of military aid to Iraq (hence why the Iraq army was armed with T-72's, Mig 29's and SA2's). US aid was overwhelming not in strictly military hardware but in financial aid packages and low interest loans (which loans were used to buy military hardware from the USSR).
Hikma can you do alternate histories like if Mustafa wasn't executed by Suleyman
Interesting idea, I'll see!
Hikma, great content as always with its precision and delivery. But please say “United States” instead of America - its more accurate and points more clearly at the US Govt’s actions rather than suggesting the whole continent (which is what America should refer to) was in support of these events.
It never ever encompasses the whole continent.
king David 4 of Georgia biography please make video
I enjoy your videos, but I have a question. If you are Muslim (and I’m not sure if you are), why does your bio mention ‘from a non-religious perspective’? I find this phrasing degrading to Islam. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say ‘from an unbiased perspective’. There’s no contradiction between Islam and stating historical facts.
They would say easily. Iraq would say expensively
That’s not a real word.

@@bs5216This is the line I was thinking of. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate Hikma's work and honestly I think even having a reply is more work than you should have to put up with as you're already doing a lot (thanks for it btw), but while I agree American geopolitical influence has been disastrous at times, I believe there were a lot of factors that can be looked at for more than American greed. It didn't really ADD to the narrative or explore anything and seemed more like a needless swipe. By all means, if you did a video on the corruption of American influence the Middle East I'd appreciate it, but in this without any support it just seemed like an unnecessary inclusion.

@@Grenadier311 you remind me of the Israelis who want to enter any government building in Gaza just to take pictures with their flag to say they achieved something then withdraw, seizing an oil field doesn't mean anything especially in war where mostly all production would stop anyway

'The US has shown itself *greedily* willing to involve itself in the area, if it can benefit or protect itself...'
Tell us how you *really* feel. Damn that US, looking out for its interests like any other country.
Of course the dirty secret is that the US is in the middle east because Egypt, Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Israel want them there. They gain far more from US presence than the US (which has been an energy exporter since the Shale revolution and does not need middle east oil) does from being there. Which is why the US has been slowly withdrawing and Saudi has been trying to stop them from doing so.
the US is the dictator of the world, hypocrites using democracy, human rights and freedom to enslave the whole world, no one wants them accept the dictator governments that she made and support, the people don't want you
The Americans are a stateless people ruled by a Zionist government that sees the territorial integrity of "Israel" as more important than America's, that's the chief reason for involvement in the region. If the government here actually invaded countries for our interests, I would support it. But that's just not the case in reality. Washington's foreign policy has been explicitly anti-American since the First World War.

Saddam Hussein was framed by the USA. following a plan put in place a decade before 1991.
this plan stipulated that Iraq (meaning Saddam and his regime) would be defeated within a decade.
there was also a second part to this plan: the defeat of Iran (meaning Khomeini and his regime) a decade after that of Iraq, therefore from the beginning of 2000 to 2010 and we are in 2023.
the plan seems to have run out of steam.
we learn a lot when we read the global press
and not just the US or British press.
I read this in an African (or Afro-Asian?) political magazine from the early 80's in the middle of the Iranian-Iraqi war, a war which is said to have served no purpose, just deaths and propaganda which makes the Middle East an arc of crises at the heart
of a regional group
ranging from the Maghreb to Pakistan, mainly populated by Muslims.
For those who claim that America hasn't won a war since WWII, take note.
The US arguably won the 1st and 2nd Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan all in a matter of months. For the last, the occupation and transition of power was lost, obviously. Saying the 2nd Iraq War was lost is revisionist history. The Ba’ath party are not in power in Iraq today nor is an insurgent group. Despite the tumult and dysfunction, the Iraqi government installed by Washington’s coalition still rules.
Lol murrica did jack during ww1 and for WW2, they just nuked Japan, Soviets win the WW2.
Also, apart from Kuwaiti help, America technically lost in Iraq and obviously Afghanistan
It didnt win the Afghan war in months, it just took a while for their enemies to regroup who refused to give up. America loses wars because it fundamentally doesnt understand the reality that wars arent over until the other side accepts defeat. The 2nd gulf war,the 'iraqi government' has largely become Iran allied and as trump said 'didnt even get the oil'. The 1st gulf war was a win not just because the US' military performance, but also because of the maturity it showed in limiting its reach and not occupying the country. This type of candid practical maturity was lost and instead what we have now is an out of touch power that worships its own hubris.
What type of thick skull would claim that statement?
