The U.S. wasn’t alone. They built a “Coalition of the Willing.” Sounds impressive, right? It included countries like the UK, Poland, and... uh, let’s just say the list was padded with tiny nations looking for a favor.
Having friends makes a war feel more legitimate. It’s like getting your whole group chat to agree to order a terrible pizza. “See? We all decided this was a good idea!” Even if three of them were just agreeing to avoid an awkward silence.
But the alliance was fragile. Once the WMD lie fell apart, a lot of those friends started looking at their shoes, real hard.
