I will address it... Ukraine has dozens of public health laboratories that work to research and mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases. Some of these labs receive financial and other support from the US, the European Union, and the World Health Organization (WHO) - as is the case in many other countries. Despite Russian claims that these are "secret" labs, details of US involvement can be found on the US embassy's website.

I'm curious, does this in your opinion provide a valid reason for the invasion, occupation, and expansion of Russian territory from a sovereign nation?

And for the record, Tony Blair and Bush are War criminals and should be tried as such, but that doesn't change the fact that the foundations and flash points that lead to these wars are vastly different, with vastly different intended outcomes.

I am simply highlighting the rationale at the time, which as I have already stated "didn't turn out to be true" and I will quote myself again "This is not to say I agree with what happened and the war again should never have happened."

That's not their declared reason for the war. It's quite a basic question I'm asking and you seem to really lack the basic intellect to structure something further than a basic sentence or a valid reason. Crawl back into your hole Russian troll.

Wars should never be started because of political frameworks. Democracy, although on paper the fairest division of power when done correctly, it is arguably not a suitable model for every country, and most certainly should never be forcefully pushed upon a country.

No, because although it didn't turn out to be true, or at least they weren't found, there was considered to be a genuine threat of WMDs. This coupled with the harboring of Al-Quaeda responsible for one the biggest terrorist attacks we have faced in recent history, gave a fair amount of credibility to such a military operation (what you see now is an invasion - because they plan to occupy and have held "elections" to claim parts as Russia already). Whether you like to believe it or not, these terrorists did actually exist, and there is still some argument that the WMDs did too. This is not to say I agree with what happened and the war again should never have happened. But please enlighten me on how this compares to what is happening in Ukraine...

A very stupid statement, whilst both situations are incredibly morally objectionable, there are so few parallels between Iraq and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
