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

[Antonio the Sixth]

America's invasion of Iraq was about replacing a brutal, borderline-genocidal dictator with an at least somewhat democratic and pluralistic regime. It was a wildly misguided idea for a whole host of reasons and was pursued in downright abhorrent ways, but it had at least one defensible rationale.

Putin's war has the exactly opposite rationale. Spreading democracy at gunpoint might have been a fool's errand, but spreading authoritarianism at gunpoint it something that can succeed and has succeeded across history - and that's why it's so dangerous and must be stopped at all costs.

And we're going to pay for this stupid war in Ukraine, eg the inflation.
I'll be worse than the Iraq War.

The people you have in your signature were all willing to pay a price to defend democracy abroad (they didn't always go about it the right way, far from it, but I do believe that most of them genuinely meant it).

You should be ashamed of using their faces while spewing this pathetic jingoistic whine.
