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. [/quote]

I didn't realize that you were looking for identical twin situations or that two invaded countries have to be identical in every sense for both to be viewed as sinful.  But that's not a good reason to let your lies go unchallenged.

Not only wasn't Ukrainian banned, the Moscow government has in fact embarked on a policy of forced Ukrainization as early as in 1920s.  Behold:

Here is a BBC blog with more details. Use Google translate https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/blogs-russian-45028831

Here is a translated quote from a Ukrainian blog: 
The maximum circulation of books in the Ukrainian language was published in 1974 - 1[b]04,795 thousand books[/b]. Since 1974, a steady decline in the circulation of books in Ukrainian began until 1987, when the perestroika began.

Here is a Ukrainian blog that lists all the anti-Ukrainian language actions, whilst making it painfully obvious that the USSR was way, way kinder and inclusive than the Russian empire toward the Ukrainian language:

[quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

It would be super weird if the US declared itself a brotherly nation to Iraq.  Especially after long-term sanctions that crippled Iraq's healthcare and tech development.

"As many as[b] 576,000 Iraqi children may have died since the end of the Persian Gulf war because of economic sanctions[/b] imposed by the Security Council, according to two scientists who surveyed the country for the Food and Agriculture Organization.

The study also found steeply rising malnutrition among the young, suggesting that more children will be at risk in the coming years...

In 1991, after the war ended, Dr. Fawzi and other researchers found that mortality rates for children under five had tripled during the war and its immediate aftermath. By this year, the rate had increased fivefold.

Deaths related to diarrheal diseases have tripled in an increasingly unhealthy environment, the study says. Water and sanitation systems have deteriorated, hospitals are functioning at 40 percent of capacity, food prices are high and many people are living on Government rations that provide only 1,000 calories a day."

Thank you, Security Council, these dead children definitely helped to bring Saddam down oh wait they didn't they just died for no major reason.

[quote=Anonymous]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]

Do any of these things have to happen for the Iraq invasion not to count? I mean other than your deep-seated inclination to weep for the blue-eyed and the fair-skinned more than for the brown and the Muslim?[/quote]
