Is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine significantly morally different than America’s invasion of Iraq?

[Damocles]

Ah yes. We *totally* denied that Iraqis are a separate and distinct people from America. We also instigated a man-made famine that killed tens of millions of Iraqis. We also foisted on them an authoritarian government hellbent on destroying their language and culture, and shot anyone and everyone who dared oppose us.

I never liked the bait threads you create, but this is low even for you. The bar is on the floor.

The war in Ukraine can be correctly be identified as a war of conquest, but, confusingly, it can also be described as intended to be a war of national defense, given how Putin fears the capabilities of NATO more broadly. Of course, intention and reality are very different things and this is among the best examples of that.

“Look what she made me do! She left me for some Chad! What a f#%king SLUT! She deserves to be putin her place!”

This is what Putin sounds like. What a loser.
