Victoria Nuland's husband, Robert Kagan, wrote an open letter to George W. Bush nine days after the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, urging him to invade Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein “even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack."

The sanction imposed on iraq itself before invasion already killed hundreds of thousands due to lack of medication and baby formula.
Iraq finally completed paying kuwait usd52 billion in war reparation in 2021.
But US never bothered to compensate iraq for war damage in iraq. It was bombed back to the stone age. All infrastructure destroyed from power ststions, sewage, water pipelines...
This is different from how russia did to ukraine. Train are still running scheduked servuces in the west part if the vountry. Lng pipelines through Ukraine still providing europe with gas.
Russia took over nuclear power plants and have not stop its operations.

US invade because Iraq penetrated Kuwait. Today same is happening in Ukraine. Why didn’t Biden and UK invade ? Double standard.
