Some obvious flaws among many with this faulty analogy the Russians first made for whataboutism purposes as someone who is no champion of either wars: 1. Kurds did welcome the Americans 2. Saddam was a brutal dictator, Zelensky is not 3. Insurgency is where comparison is salient
-
Bush wasn't invading Iraqi Kurdistan (which was already under USA protection) but parts of the country that, while having no love for Saddam, were decidedly cool to occupation. It isn't just Russians who make this analogy & whataboutism just means context & history.

Huge numbers of Iraqis enthusiatically greeted the coalition forces as they arrived. In fact, this was so widespread that it became an embarrasement to the Saddam regime, so much so that they started infiltrating the crowds with suicide bombers.
-
The massive crowds also became a hinderence to the coalition convoys.

It's allways bad when you start to believe your own propaganda. From what i've read Ukraine and Russia in the last couple of years went in very different directions and the Russians simply ignored that and still had their old assumptions of Ukraine
-
This is what allways gets me . At some point people producing propaganda they've known is false actually start to believe their own lies. I don't get it. Must be some psychological phenomenon i don't understand.

He bought the ideology for he was from a rich family and this faith plus belief gave his life meaning after personal setbacks. *sigh*
