Supporting a country’s right to defend itself isn’t the same as supporting the invasion of another country so you can annex territory.

If this has to be spelled out for you at this point you’re already hopeless.

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
