To whataboutski: what's the difference between an intervention and an invasion?  If intervention is so bad then why is invasion good?  Ethnic cleansing, rape as an instrument of war, and targeting civilians is very bad stuff.  Arguing that it's ok, which to be clear is exactly what you are doing, because the US negligently unleashed a sectarian civil war in Iraq is despicable.[/quote]

LOL interventions and invasions are only bad when committed by not-America.

When committed by America, they are righteous.  Or, at their worst, regrettable but innocent mistakes.[/quote]

Well based on your own words they seem to all be bad but at the same time you are using those criticisms to claim an invasion for territorial gain characterized by ethnic cleansing, widespread strategic rape, and the intentional targeting of civilians by the aggressor i[b]s a good tbing[/b].  It's easy to see why one could get confused.

But anyway, as you point out, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a lot of forces within Russia that will inevitably lead to its downfall.  It has also unified Ukraine in opposition such that it could never be integrated or peacefully controlled.  Using Iraq as an example, the ethnic divisions within Russia will become more pronounced and antagonistic while the normalization of mass violence will leave a legacy of sociopathy among the population such that normalcy cannot be returned to in the near term.  If the best case scenario for post-war Russia is Iraq then what is the worst case?[/quote]

No, I never claimed it's a good thing, are you insane? that's you talking to voices in your head.

Using Iraq as an example, Ukraine is Iraq, not Russia.  Divisions within Iraq (other than Kurds) are religious, not ethnic.

Ukraine is not Iraq. Iraq was not occupied by the US for 300 years, during which Arabic was banned and English was only language in universities, government administration, etc. The US did not return to occupy Iraq 30 years after Iraq gained independence, announcing that they are “brotherly nations” and have a “long common history”. The US did not ban Arabic as the first thing that they did.

Ukraine did not have a war with its neighbor countries and no Ukrainian president used chemical weapons against its minorities, Ukraine also did not invade Kuwait or any other neighboring country. If drawing parallels, then draw the parallel of Iraq invading Kuwait in 1990, to Russia invading Ukraine in 2022.[/quote]
