>So, by your moral standard, the entire Earth should have isolated the US economy when the US government/military was killing Iraqi and Afghani civilians and destroying non-military targets, right? The entire planet should also be isolating Saudi Arabia for its genocidal war in Yemen?

Probably, yes. That never would have happened, but that would indeed be the logical conclusion. And I'm fine with that.

That's good of you to admit, it means you have a moral consistency here. Interestingly, most of the US politicians supported by the MSM (right and left) were all for the Iraq War and its dubious justifications (Yellowcake), republican or democrat. With a few exceptions such as POTUS 45

Trump was for the Iraq war at the time. See https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/29/politics/fact-check-trump-fal...

Just 6 months before the invasion there is a recording of an interview where he said he was for the war.

> "Are you for invading Iraq?" Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, "Yeah, I guess so."
