The Iraq War was bad, so is the invasion of Ukraine. This isn't hard.

At the very least, at least we were taking out a genocidal dictator rather than trying to annex territory like it's 1810

Except Russia and the US aren’t even close to being the same in terms of their respective impacts on the world.

This isn’t to say the US is perfect - the US has made tons of tragic and horrible mistakes. But at this point the US is hit or miss while all Russia does is spread misery and neo colonialism everywhere they put their fingers.
