In terms of history, it is well documented that the US went to war because Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (later proven to be a lie sold to the world). This is a bit ironic noting only one country on the planet has used WMD's against their opponent. While you have to dig a bit and read a bit, the western history of the build up to the Iraq war paints a damning picture of both the US and English foreign policy/special relationship.

The document is from 2014, and the title is wrong. It's also a personal opinion.
It is deprecated since we know that, 8 years after, Ukraine decided to join Nato to avoid being gobbled by Russia corruption system, beingaware it would trigger an agression.
And when you are saying "the West" you forgot France and many others country voted NO to war in Iraq 2003 in UN. So US had to drive this out of it. Or maybe you didn't know ?
