Did you protest for iraq?

- orbital-decay 3y agoI don't know the poster you're replying to, but the protests against the Iraq invasion were massive, both in the US and worldwide. [1] It happened regardless. (although admittedly the protesters weren't in any physical danger, and there was much less will to punish those who started the invasion afterwards, moreover the person directly responsible for it is currently a president). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_the_Iraq_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_the_Iraq_War
- justrealist 3y agoInvading Iraq was a mistake but I'm not going to let you try to morally equate the invasion of Ukraine and Iraq. One was an illconceived and halfassed attempt to remove an explicitly genocidal dictator, with the goal of replacing him with some fantasy liberal democracy. The other is an attempt to eliminate a democratically elected government, permanently annex territory, and culturally and linguistically subsume Ukraine into Russia by any means necessary. It's not the same.
- LtWorf 3y agoWell it wasn't democratic enough to pass the EU standards before the war, although now everyone seems prone to doing exceptions.
