I get what you're saying but this isn't an invasion.

Only when anti-NATO country does it!!! We only protect human rights by bombing the shit out of countries, it is for Western neoliberal democracy!

Turkey is killing Kurdish separatists with (according to Turkey's president) Iraq's consent. It's literally not an invasion against Iraq. You could claim it's an invasion against the Kurdish insurgency, maybe.

Your post sounds like a knee-jerk reaction that doesn't attempt to understand the situation. I prefer the separatists over Turkey but come one, this is just a silly reply.

So, Russia did not invade Ukraine, but specifically invaded and neutered Nazis breeding in Ukraine military on behest of Donetsk and Luhansk republic states. Anything else is a silly reply, I guess?

Look, the US fabricated its reasons for being there, but that doesn't make fucking Saddam a good guy, pull your head out of your ass.
