Shaken, not stirred!
The defense of Kuwait was sanctioned by the UN and a unanimous vote by the Security Council.
I haven't corresponded with anyone in Russia who believes NATO atrocities are occuring in Ukraine.
Russia had to eventually turn tail and run from Afghanistan, because it was an unpopular war and the government realized it was futile.
I don't think the Ukraine invasion has broad popular support in Russia, but a NATO-Russia war will undoubtedly change that calculus.
Edit to add- I read that USA is negotiating with Poland to transfer Polish MIG-29s to Ukraine.
the "coalition of the coerced", I believe it was called. Daddy Bush and some Kuwaiti first family members LIED to get that defense....one of many lies regarding Iraq. Many US vets said that they wouldn't go to die for "an oil company with a flag".
