The Iraqi opposition was not the government. Those who nvited the Soviets into Afganistan were the goverment. Don't compare apples and cinder blocks.

Why not? What is the legitimate ruler is a matter of discussion.

You mean by the unrecognized except by the USSR and it's proxies "government" that was still in the USSR while it's street thugs that had just launched a coup with KGB support had just taken over? And those conveniently prepositioned Soviet forces (this from the army that took months to set up any major force deployment) just happened to be in the neighborhood (with logistics bases and supplies already set up and ready to go) to answer the call of fraternal socialism?

Well, that candle is kinda more like a holocaust. The United States has invaded, intervened in, or overthrown approximately seven times the number of countries the USSR has, and that's just from 1945 - 1991.

If you take Afghanistan as an example of "invited in, so it doesn't count as an invasion" then you can use the same criteria to scratch virtually every foreign action by US forces, because we were always there at somebody's invitation.

And most of the countries we were ****ing around with had a little KGB or Soviet proxy state inspired action going on.

At least be consistent in the standards you apply to both countries' cold war actions.

Or go back to Russia where you come from!

Can you show me on a map where Russia borders Iraq so that they could sneak those WMDs over the border?

I beleive the story said the plan was that the Iraqi burn the chemical weapons and bury their microfiched plans in cannisters for later reconstruction. I don't know if the Russians were involved, but there are reports that the Iraqi's did burn their chemcial weapons just prior to the attack.

So this is the new jingohawk theory? Any proof?

UKRAINE- free willingly joined Russia in 1654, not to mention that we were one state 1000 years ago.

Hey hey hey.

I'm not 100% sure, but from my recollection of history, this is a gross dishonesty.

Yes, Ukraine was first. Infact the grand kingdom of Kiiv (aka Kiev) was first, and regional power only later moved to the north to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

But Ukraine later was harrassed a whole lot by both Russia and Poland.

But if they did that then they'd be honest and fair. We all know those are the two things which communists have the most difficulties doing.

I suppose no one who has taken a basic chemistry course or made cheap drugs in their bathtub is planning to let all others know that you can COMPLETELY dispose of chemical/bio weapons and turn/mash trace element to trace element to trace element to talcum powder to PRETTY MUCH ANY F*CKING CHEMICAL COMPOUND ON THE PLANET with high tech gadgetry such as a mixing bowl, pound of salt, and/or "heat"

SORRY FOR THE RUN-ON SENTENCE, IT'S JUST THAT I'VE BEEN RENDERED "MY MOTHER IS MY SISTER" STUPID BY NOT CONSIDERING SUCH A MAGICAL PRACTISE AND RATHER ALL THE WHILE ACCEPTING MY OWN QUICK DEFINITION THAT "DISSAPEAR" UNDOUBTEDLY MEANS OR ALWAYS SUGGESTS "CROSS IRAQI BORDERS AND PLAY HIDE & SEEK"
