Economic and military consequences.


Both Iraq and the United States had a significant loss upon their military and economic fields. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to an impact upon military and economic fields. The United States sacrificed a lot in order to invade Iraq, in terms of economic repercussion and also the now strained relationship between the United Nations. The debt the United States is currently in would not be as drastic if they hadn’t of funded $97 million to opposition forces (Manfreda, 2014). The information I found in this source has allowed an understanding about how the United States invaded Iraq even against the United Nations advice. If other countries were to do this as an example of the US what is the point of the organisation. Without the invasion it can be assumed that there would not be an as high as there is today (Cogan, 2003). Also social impacts could be noted because as a result of the US having to pay for all this they would have to increase costs of living and have taxes to then pay for it, affecting those residing in the United States.
