Iraqis liken the invasion of Ukraine to what happened with Kuwait (Getty)
Iraqis interact with major global events according to their severity, proximity to their interests, or caused by their current circumstances or those they have already gone through, and this is what happened with the Russian forces' invasion of Ukrainian lands.

The official UN mandate was absent from the American occupation of Iraq by a decision that was taken only in the White House and with the support of Downing Street
And for considerations, including the invasion of a neighbor to his neighbor, the personality of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the declared hostility towards the West, some Iraqis make analogies to the event with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in 1990 and its aftermath.

Perhaps the attractiveness of the resemblance has increased due to the coincidence of the Russian-Ukrainian event with the Iraqi government’s announcement of Iraq’s official exit from Chapter VII, by paying the full financial compensation to Kuwait imposed due to the invasion.
Despite the similarity that calls for a comparison between the Iraqi invasion in 1990 and the Russian invasion in 2022, with photography from above; However, reality and its facts dictate another, more logical comparison, with the replacement of invading Iraq with Iraq under invasion. That is, 1990 to 2003.
The official UN mandate was absent from the American occupation of Iraq, and the United States led a coalition of representatives [including Ukraine] who participated in what is close to the symbolic participation that confers a global international character to a decision that was taken only in the White House and with the support of Downing Street.
Also, there was no international approval of Russia's decision to invade Ukraine. The West - which participated in the occupation of Iraq - the Russian attack is a flagrant violation of international conventions, human rights and other phrases that flooded the ears of the planet in 2003 to no avail.

Iraq paid a heavy price for the invasion of Kuwait, not because it crossed the borders of its state, but because it crossed the political borders drawn by the great powers
The same applies to justifications. The United States was waging its war on (terrorism) after the September 9, 2001 incident. It invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq under the pretext of that war and based on the pretext of “defending national security,” which is the same pretext that Putin used to justify his war on Ukraine, and perhaps more Logical in terms of Russia's geographical proximity to Ukraine compared to the huge distance between the United States and those who threaten its national security (Iraq, Afghanistan).
We learn from the experiences and repeated events, at least in recent decades, that the so-called international mandate is not a condition for one country to start war on another, that the justifications made by the invading countries cannot stop at a certain limit, that the world is not governed by just law, and that the “scramble” He is the master of the situation, in the past, present, and most likely in the future.
Most of the world's countries rejected the previous Iraqi regime's invasion of Kuwait, despite its public and hidden arguments. Most of the world's peoples and some countries rejected the US invasion of Iraq, despite the arguments made by [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] at the time. The West now rejects the Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite Putin's arguments and his fears of NATO. In the end: refusal and acceptance only make sense in cases where the initiating party is not actually able to defend its action.
Iraq paid a heavy price for the invasion of Kuwait, not because it did what it did and crossed the borders of its state towards the borders of another country drawn in the geography of the global system, but because it crossed the political borders drawn by the great powers in this system for those who are strong in Iraq. Because the latter could not defend his act.
In the past hours, international agencies quoted the Ukrainian president as calling on "European citizens to demonstrate to pressure their governments to take decisive decisions" after the launch of the Russian military operation inside his territory.

The question here is: What did the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] do in 2003 to prevent the invasion in which the country of the Ukrainian president participated?
Millions of people roamed the streets and thronged the squares: in Britain, France, Spain, Greece, Germany, Russia, Holland, Denmark, Bulgaria, Hungary, Belgium, Cyprus... as well as in the East of the planet: in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, India.. and also in South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Arab countries.
Those millions of crowds demanded to prevent the war on Iraq, and an American writer [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to say that "there are two superpowers on earth, the United States and world public opinion." But the demonstrations and rallies did not prevent the invasion.
It is worth noting that the millions of marches were asking - at least - that their countries not participate in the invasion and not do anything towards another invasion against a superpower, as the Ukrainian president requests. The American occupation opened the door to the question of what was left of democracy not as a local ruling system; Rather, it is a globally approved system, which proves its effectiveness by setting the course for our planet.

Now, the countries of the world and their peoples are watching the Western reaction towards the Russian action, with the assurances of the major countries such as the United States and Britain on their decision not to engage in combat with the Russians, not because they did not go beyond their geographical borders, but because they are able to defend their actions and draw their geographical borders with their military power. Regardless of the future economic and other prospects, that is another matter.

The major powers stress their decision not to engage in combat with the Russians, not because they did not go beyond their geographical borders, but because they are able to defend their actions and draw their borders with their military power.
China is watching what happens, and the Taiwanese have a hand in their hearts. As well as all countries that have ambitions for their neighbors or a history of tense relations. We are also watching how the West will act towards an act that it has done itself and has turned a country like Iraq into a heap of corruption, ruin and sectarian strife. It seems that the "police of the world" faces a real and decisive test in the extent of his practice of the police profession.
