I am starting to lose this one. How dare anyone excuse a great power hurling brute force against a small one, justifying it with some nonsense about extremists and a “responsibility to protect”. There should be no place for such cynical bullying in a 21st-century world order. And for what? So a leader with a virility complex can play to his domestic gallery. The whole thing is utterly unacceptable. There must be costs and consequences.
But enough of Iraq. What of Ukraine?
Also check out Adomanis’ piece comparing Iraq and Ukraine, and why both of them are disasters.
