It’s amazing that the coli can be astrophysicists,economists,crypto specialists and red pill alpha nikkas but can play stupid and act like they don’t know what the title implies .

It’s talking about being iraq politically for Dems..AKA a losing issue during elections.

The difference is that in the ME we had Americans dying to go along with the economic shyt which garnered a stronger reaction. Yeah we throwing money out there and ppl don’t like it but it’s not the same thing in Ukraine .

However there is a caveat that the US did eventually get what they wanted in Iraq ..and Ukraine is just delaying an L that everyone not on dikk knew was coming for a few years now .

I think the more appropriate analogy is Afghanistan which was/is a total loss

You had to make A whole lot of assumptions to come to this conclusion. Why not ask the OP what he meant by the title? :troll:

Also support for the Iraq war was high as hell during the 2000s. OP probably wasn't in America yet during that period and it hurt the Dems that they weren't seen as being strong enough on wanting to keep the war going.

Really just a repeat of what Stalin was doing


American conservative historian and Stalin biographer Stephen Kotkin on the 1930s Soviet famines:

According to Stephen Kotkin, while "there is no question of Stalin's responsibility for the famine" and many deaths could have been prevented if not for the "insufficient" and counterproductive Soviet measures, there is no evidence for Stalin's intention to kill the Ukrainians deliberately. According to Kotkin, the Holodomor "was a foreseeable byproduct of the collectivization campaign that Stalin forcibly imposed, but not an intentional murder. He needed the peasants to produce more grain, and to export the grain to buy the industrial machinery for the industrialization. Peasant output and peasant production was critical for Stalin's industrialization."

On a proportionate basis, the Kazakh Soviet Republic lost more people in their 1930s famine.

Which is why I think the more apt comparison would’ve been Afghanistan If it’s just overall dislike but eventually Iraq got tied in with Afghanistan perception wise . So even if Iraq was justified and had support (it did ) as it dragged on it all got lumped together.


For democrats they got it from both sides ..Republicans would try to call em cowards for not supporting it and democrats on the left would fry those that were in support of it . Obama had his foot on Clintons neck over Iraq and it played a big part in his success .

In some places democrats lost on the issue,other times they won. Just like all other issues
