In March 2003, the United States of America - the president is conservative George W. Bush, who is somewhat more collected than Joe Biden, does not pass the cognitive test, but often needs to be explained because of his blunders - and Great Britain - the prime minister is the young, smart, handsome, Labor Tony Blair , whose role in the death of Princess Diana in Paris is still unclear - raided Iraq for no reason.
Just.
Wikipedia, edited mainly by Soros NGO soldiers who are known to be bored, says that the casus belli (the cause of the war) is "the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, the war against terrorism, the possession of presumed weapons of mass destruction", which is a lie in itself. After all, those who lived then and followed the events heard nothing else on TV than that Iraq must be invaded because Saddam is a dictator and has chemical weapons. Nothing more.
The American-British coalition destroyed Iraq to the ground, bombed Baghdad into the desert, but the majority of the Western public dismissed it all with a shrug of the shoulders - this is how to deal with an evil dictator. Although the invasion had at least 200-250 thousand innocent victims, but I have heard higher numbers as well.
Saddam was captured and quickly convicted by a summary court and hastily executed. "It's not too bad," waved the average Western citizen, just oil should be enough, because the car needs gasoline. By executing Saddam, they didn't even wait for the soldiers to find substantial evidence of Saddam's guilt. Former US Chief of Staff Collin Powell, then the UN ambassador, showed white powder in a 30 ml medicine vial at the UN, saying that this was the proof of Saddam's guilt. To this day, I still don't understand how a vial presented by a diplomat at the UN General Assembly gives evidence justifying a death sentence, but whatever.
At the same time, it is also extremely interesting that no one in the UN was bothered by the fact that the US ambassador to the UN was walking around the UN headquarters with a dangerous chemical weapon in his pocket among the diplomats of 200 other countries, while the Western world stopped for two months due to the coronavirus. Probably because the stopper of the vial was sealed with wax. Maybe there was powdered sugar in the vial.
The American-British coalition army sifted through the entire desert twice, but in 10 years no evidence was found as to whether Saddam had chemical weapons, especially a laboratory capable of producing them. But who was interested in this already 10 years after Saddam's death. In the end, it was blamed on an unknown Iraqi "scientist" who misinformed British and American intelligence. That was all done. Hey...
Of course, Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes, IKEA, and the others did not withdraw from either the USA or the UK. British and American businessmen, athletes, and artists were not retaliated against, even though the Americans are still in Iraq today.
On the contrary, the most depraved terrorist organization in the Universe, the Islamic State, was born, which was a good reason for the USA to bomb Syria as well...

On February 24, 2022, the Russian military launched a comprehensive operation against Ukraine.
The casus belli is the demilitarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine. At first glance, the argument may be smiling, but let's wait for the hasty judgment.
I won't tell the whole story, since the war has been going on in front of our eyes for three weeks, everyone can see it, but I myself have dealt with the details a lot.
One thing is for sure, compared to the case 20 years ago, the entire Western public is constantly wailing, it feels sorry for the innocent civilians (I rightly note, why didn't they wail in 2003?), Putin is a mentally deranged dictator, poor Ukrainian people, blood, suffering, tears , bombed home...
In contrast to Iraq, Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes, IKEA, and the others withdrew from Russia almost on command. Russian businessmen, athletes, artists, and even Russian cats are constantly retaliated against.
But there were a few more unexpected twists and turns that came to light barely two weeks after the outbreak of the war.
First, it is clear that the West was continuously stocking Ukraine with weapons BEFORE the war broke out. I don't know what exactly is in the Minsk agreement, but there is definitely an arms ban. This was violated by the West. There is no excuse for the fact that the Russians...
One thing is for sure, the fact that the West secretly delivered weapons to the Ukrainians catalyzed the Russian actions, and since the Russians put everything on the same page, more Western weapons will result in more Russian strikes and ultimately more innocent victims. It's simple math.
But there is an even more interesting twist.
On March 1st (or a day or two earlier) I dealt with the fact that the Americans operate military chemical laboratories in Ukraine. Obviously, because the Ukrainian chemist is cheap, and if you have the guts, don't let an escaped strain of the virus cause a catastrophe in American cities.
My article was classified as fake news by the famously objective fact-checker PolitiFact and deleted. I wrote an article about this on March 1, in which I also ask the question:
I would just like to ask, respectfully, how does PolitiFact know so well the secret details of the workings of the American war machine?
How do you know that what you do not see - from the USA in Ukraine - does not exist and does not exist? Do you check in the super-secret documents and correspondence of the Pentagon and the CIA and their cooperating partners? Or they call the Minister of War, let him tell you... (further details in the article).
What am I reading for this?
US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland denies the existence of US military biolabs in Ukraine, but at the same time worries that biological weapons bred and developed in the SAME (non-existent) labs will end up in Russian hands.

Excerpt from a congress discussion:
Rubio (Senator):
I only have a minute left. Let me ask you, does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?
Nuland (Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs):
Ukraine has biological research laboratories that, and we are very concerned, Russian forces may try to take over. We are working with the Ukrainians on how to prevent any of the research materials from getting into the hands of the Russians if they try to (occupy the labs - ed.)
- reports the news portal ma7.sk from the highlands.
…ouch, ouch, ouch…
And the WHO calls on the Ukrainian government to do everything possible to prevent the release of chemical and biological weapons developed in the (non-existent American) laboratories in Ukraine, and to destroy them as safely as possible. However, the WHO also admits that it has no idea how to achieve this in the current war situation. But of course it doesn't matter; the real goal is to prevent Russian hands from getting evidence that there were indeed American military labs in Ukraine.
So, the West is not so much worried about the poor, suffering Ukrainian people - they never cared about ordinary Ukrainians - but that the US will be found to have outsourced/funded chemical weapons research in Ukraine. The increased concern about the war suffering of the Ukrainian people is just a political fig leaf.
Would you be interested in how these American military labs ended up in Ukraine? Isn't this prohibited by some international convention?

A word like a hundred, I would not be in Putin's place now, when the casus belli has to be explained in the UN... One thing is certain: when the time comes, he will not take off with a 30 ml vial in his pocket - with flour or powdered sugar in it - to your machine...
