1. You mean kinda like American soldiers were misinformed about invading Iraq back in the day?

Lied to is more correct.

We don't need whatabouts right now.

3. Well, they knew they were going to Iraq. And they were properly trained and equipped.

So, not quite. But thanks for trying.

5. Who said anything about untrained...

I am sure I said "misinformed".

7. The comparison is laughable, if you're trying to compare this man's

story to American soldiers in Iraq. This guy was not prepared to leave Russia and deploy to foreign soil. He is a police officer, not someone who would normally be sent to conduct an invasion. He had no clear role, was just supposed to help invade and subdue Kyiv. These guys didn't know their asses from their elbows once inside Ukraine--poor leadership, unclear objectives, not enough food or supplies. Whatever you want to say about America and how misguided it was that we invaded Iraq, that's not how we did it.

6. I wish I could show this to every Pro-Putin Russian.

But I doubt they'd believe it. Propaganda victims will double down rather than believe their eyes and ears.
