This whataboutism is just more Russian propaganda (it’s a boilerplate argument that gets copy/pasted into every single debate about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine). It has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Ukraine, and the Iraq War doesn’t justify Russia’s conquest of Ukraine.
Nah, I'm not going to accept deflection to unrelated wars. If you want to discuss the Iraq War in an appropriate thread, I'm happy to do so, but it doesn't justify Russia's ongoing conquest of Ukraine.
Nah, iraq war is over... maybe we can discuss syria, since my countries army is currently invading them as a part of nato forces. Maybe even lebanon. We're not in somalia (yet?), but americans are there now too. We luckily pulled our solders out of afghanistan in the last moment, but we were a part of occupying forces there too, just like the belarus army is in ukraine.
