Which doesn’t change the fact that it invaded them, often for reasons which turn out to be flimsy at best, and I rather doubt it matters to the Iraqis that we were invading them because we meant well
Once again, Russia’s criteria for territorial gain are “large amounts of natural resources and a large Russian speaking/ ethnic Russian populace. The Russians have large amounts of the same minerals that can be found in Finland in Karelia, which they own. The latter flat out doesn’t exist in Finland.
There isn’t a reason for an invasion. Period. Pretending otherwise is fearmongering, nothing but.
