Lots of countries, including our own, conduct illegal and illegitimate invasions, that are almost universally condemned. And yet we're still using SWIFT and random Americans don't get their property seized when they leave the country. Other countries notice that even if you pretend it doesn't happen. |
Oh dear.

That's already been discussed and flogged to death over and over again. If you want to talk about Iraq, go start a new thread. This thread is about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. |
Cry harder. If you don't like consequences, don't invade. What hubris made you think Russia would not or should not face consequences? |
If only it were just Iraq... Why do we have a base and support a bunch of separatists in Syria again? |
It is a perfectly reasonable rebuttal to your silly claim of "don't invade if you don't want your assets seized" - that many countries do invade and very few of them have their assets seized. Just to be clear - are you inventing a set of rules that would apply exclusively to Russia? |
Funny to hear someone who hates America and loves Russia say "our own" |
That others invaded and didn't? |
I want to talk about your stupid argument "don't invade for no reason other than your own lies." Because that photo is a synopsis of an invasion that happened for no reason other than our own lies - without any consequences to the invader. |
Why does Russia have bases in Syria again? |
Why not? |
Talk about stupid arguments. Basically your argument consists of "two wrongs makes a right." You're trying to argue that just because the US "invaded someone and got away with it" that Russia should be allowed to invade whoever they want and get away with it as well. Complete logical fallacy. |
Then, according you you, "why not" is a perfectly reasonable basis for why the US has a base in Syria too. |

Straight from wiki: In 1971, under an agreement with President Hafez al-Assad, the Soviet Union was allowed to open its naval military base in Tartus, giving the Soviet Union a stable presence in the Middle East.[5][6] Thousands of Syrian military officers and educated professionals studied in Russia during al-Assad's presidency (1971–2000).[23] Note the difference, one was invited in and one is an invader. |
