> Replace 'Russia' with 'USA', and 'Ukraine' with 'Iraq'. This is actually an excellent example because it's clear that invasion was as wrong as the other one. When Bush designed his mad plan to attack Afghanistan and Iraq, he faced enormous outcry from his allies. In Europe, there were the biggest anti-war protests in the modern history of the continent (I believe in Rome it was 5 million people). It made no sense then, it made no sense during the war, and it makes no sense now. The only "positive" aspect of that war is that the USA is now much more careful when considering its options as it's clear that starting the war is relatively easy and having a positive outcome (so-called "winning") are two different things. Russia is only learning this now.
