@@sirbacon1617 You live in the US, I assume. Given the history of the US, and as you point out , the fact that the president's power is not restricted (tough it prides itself as a democracy) ,a sovereign nation must possess the ability to defend itself. Given the untrustworthiness of US leaders, the expansion of NATO can't be allowed. If you see a venomous snake that has killed two people in front of you, slowly creep towards you, do you let it bite you first or do you kill it at once? So Putin is securing a buffer zone between NATO nations and his country, it's the only way he can secure his interests. As you yourself say, your leaders are whimsical and don't give a damn about international laws . And the fact that Putin's popularity surged in Russia after the start of the SMO, is proof that Russians support the operation.

There's one thing I don't understand. It is generally taught that the Iraqi army was quickly destroyed by the US and its allies. However I see in the comments section several former soldiers talking about colleagues who died, or lost limbs, or were otherwise seriously wounded in the course of several (re)-deployments. Something doesn't add up. Who was putting up the resistence?

[@theamazingempiricist]

There was a power vacuum after the Iraqi army was decimated by the US. Local warlords and militia took power on the basis of stabilizing their region or area. Their allegiances were based on their branch of Islam (Sunni vs. Shia) or tribal affiliation. The fighting from then on was a lot more like a drawn out guerilla war with different factions terrorizing each other or the US forces still in Iraq. The US eventually withdrew unceremoniously and now Iran flexes an enormous amount of influence in Iraq through the militias that succeeded and also won elections.

The invasion of Iraq was a disaster from the beginning on. Not only that but Iraq is still struggling economically, and with sanctions against Iran, the entire region has been further punished. Both wars in Iraq and now the skirmishes in Syria show how US military involvement is often poorly executed. Iraq depends on its neighbors for economic prosperity, especially since Iran is so much larger and more populous. I believe the new effort by the Arab League will bring peace to the region.
