    Back then you told us it was a bargain because Saddam had uranium.

    I don’t remember this, care to provide some justification? The way I remember it is that Americans were tricked into being afraid of Saddam and his WMD and it was sold as a preemptive move to a bunch of people still reeling after the 9/11 attacks.

    Russia is actually a major adversary, this is not secret. They are also acting like aggressive imperialists. I would be hesitant to get boots on the ground, but helping Ukraine defend itself is both a win for us, and the right thing to do.

    I don’t see how they’re really comparable.

      Holy shit I’ve argued with you a few times, this comment is actually something I can totally agree on.
