- sam_lowry_ 5y agoYou can not draw parallels with Iraq. US is not willing to go to war over Ukraine, and Europe does not even want to sell weapons to Ukraine. They are on their own against Putin's Russia.

"We didn't plan to do this, we stated this so many times in all media, but what we said they are going to do is so bad, that we had to take actions... Totally not our fault, everyone can see that..."
- ethbr0 5y agoI'm not sure how anyone sees similarities between these two scenarios: Scenario 1) US disseminates bad intelligence and invades a sovereign country. Iraq War. Scenario 2) US disseminates bad intelligence and arms / militarily supports a sovereign country which is being invaded. Ukraine. Nobody is remotely considering a scenario where the US is saying "Russia might invade Ukraine, so we're going to invade Russia." A defensive war is by definition the fault of the aggressor. Because they are literally on land that is yours.
