So, you are saying putin is somehow selflessly taking revenge for Iraq 20 years later? I'm curious because to the rest of the world it looks like just another attempt at occupying a sovereign nation.

  no, that's not my point. I'm saying let's not pretend that there are no double-standards around the current situation, the current victim wasn't that much concerned about their moral stance not so long ago, as long as it was beneficial to them to aid their military ally in a similar oppression of a weaker state. And no one dared to sanction them.
