I'm sure OP is asking this in good faith. It's a reasonable question. But I want to remind everyone here, and really stress, that "What about Iraq and Afghanistan" is literally reasoning Vladimir Putin is using to invade Ukraine.
I would like to ask people not to amplify that message while Europe is at war with Putin. Talk about it after all you like, it's a very reasonable question, but distracting the discourse while everybody is united over support for Ukraine is what he wants.
Do not signal boost him.
- sinyug 5y ago> "What about Iraq and Afghanistan" is literally reasoning Vladimir Putin is using to invade Ukraine. Why wouldn't he? The US provided him with a perfect template to justify his invasion. People often forget that the consequences of current actions extend far into the future. The current Ukraine-Russia conflict that will result in the re-militarization of Germany as well as the Chinese threat that led to the same thing happening in Japan will have similar consequences decades from now.[1] [1] Why the US is no threat to China, but a remilitarised Japan, led by Shinzo Abe, may well be (https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/2118257/why-us-no-threat-china-remilitarised-japan-led-shinzo-abe https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/2118257...)
- user-the-name 5y agoPlease note that this person has been arguing that Zelenskyy is to be blamed for the civilians that Russia is killing during their invasion, because he did not surrender to an invasion from a foreign power. That is the kind of person this is.
