Because none of you have any issues with the US now.
Keep pretending you treat both the same though.

I was against the US invading Iraq. I am against Russian invading Ukraine. What the US did in Iraq was disgraceful, they are doing good things now by helping Ukraine defend itself.

I don't care that Russia bombs the sht out of Ukraine.

I'll never lie to you.

I'll tell you exactly what I think of something.

Ask me how much I care about Palestinians next.

I am not questioning your sociopathic tendencies. I am saying equating a country like the USA with Russia and calling them exactly the same in their actions is odd and not "true". While I do not support what happened in Iraq saying its exactly the same as what is happening in Ukraine is not something I could ever do. For one the dictatorship and the democracy are on opposite sides of the two conflicts.

In Iraq an alliance of democracies toppled a nasty dictator (they still should have not done this however, invading and killing other people is never really right as far as I am concerned).

In Ukraine a dictator is toppling a democracy via an invasion, or at least that was the attempt. Still wrong, not the same.

In a court of law the same crime can attract vastly different punishments depending on mitigating circumstances. That is the lense I compare the two with. Happy to admit I am biased in supporting Democracies over dictatorships due lot of reading of history books and understanding how the two work in terms of regional stability, prosperity, and human rights on average.

If the war wasn't in the news none of us would know about it in the first place, what a daft comment.

No one is this slow, surely.
Surely this is purposefully misunderstanding.

Let me explain with a cool meme.
Remember when we had this for a few weeks.

The difference between you and me is that I don't lie by pretending to care.

It's always easy to catch Iraq invasion sympathisers.

"Actshually it wasn't good BUUUUUUT they did deserve it."

Every time lmao
