The people aligned with ISIS were on America's side during the Iraq war.

What people? From what I've understood Al Qaeda in Iraq's predecessor organization was attacking US troops basically right after the invasion.

OK bro, divest bro because obviously the techbros are going to turn America fascist once the boomers implode the world economy in a few years. Just do it bro. Match American military spending bro. You need it bro.

I didn't say that. I said: Threaten to divest from US weapons if America invades Iraq, because it's a morally reprehensible illegal war and because it was predictably going to create a massive refugee crisis right in Europe's backyard.
