    I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say. Like are you saying Russia plays the role Japan played in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China?

      Was not talking about Russia. You missed the point.

      Geopolitically, those both situations are totally differents.

      But I have to admit that this shows some similarities with 2003 USA invasion of Iraq 😅.

      The U.S. invasion of Iraq was the most widely and closely reported war in military history. Television network coverage was largely pro-war and viewers were six times more likely to see a pro-war source as one who was anti-war. The New York Times ran a number of articles describing Saddam Hussein’s attempts to build weapons of mass destruction. The 8 September 2002 article titled “U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts” would be discredited, leading The New York Times to issue a public statement admitting it was not as rigorous as it should have been.

        The only similarity of substance is that they were both unjustified acts of aggression made under false pretenses.

          I totally agree. But my point is about the media coverage.

          Ukranians have my full support, as much as Yemenis and Congoleses.

          But we rarely hear about these last two.
