I never said Iraq was justified. In fact the invasion of Ukraine by Russia made me even more critical of it than i was earlier.
Russia has a track record of fucking its neighbours. It also has a track record of totalitarianism.
It attacked Georgia. Annexed Crimea, sponsored the proxy separatist war in East Ukraine. 30 years ago it gave Chechnya the lovely Russian treatment. Crackdown on press, rising back to a totalitarian police state. Boasts the lowest male life expectancy in Europe. But it never touched a NATO state, for the same reasons that will also keep NATO from touching Russia.
Somehow after all this joining NATO willingly is an excuse to invade? People want to be part of it. Who wants to be part of Russia? Almost every ex-Soviet state wants to be in NATO after it got the Russian treatment. Bombings in Jugoslavia? Srebrenica... not to mention we also have Russian involvement in Syria. Okay, Afghanistan, still prompted by 9/11. Unprovoked (=no attack inside NATO territory) invasions by NATO? Zero.
I dont care about the ICC arrest warrant and i dont care about hypocricy, i believe in ambivalence. All im saying is Russia is a state that fucks its people, fucks its neighbours and will continue to fuck everything else. You are a contrarian who thinks its cool to be anti-mainstream, nothing more. Whos the drone lol
Check the official NATO source and note the date

NATO welcomes Georgia's and Ukraine's aspirations for membership
Now connect the dots, Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine.
Chechnya by the way wanted to separate from the Russian federation, it was an internal affair.
Get your
facts strait, drone

Pretty sure the millions of artillery shell fragments in the arable land will probably make your point null.
You the know best way to avoid any of what you are alluding to? Pull Russian troops out of Ukraine.
Imagine that logic. Morons.
Imagine justifying the use of depleted uranium munitions that is being brought in by your shit government that's run by an oligarch (LOL) and ignoring the effect that these munitions have on the environment
