Will libs have a collective realization about Ukraine like they did with Iraq or will they stay stubborn in it forever? (hexbear.net)

I think a material difference between Iraq (v2 anyway) and Ukraine is that they can keep doing the "well Russia was the aggressor" thing indefinitely even if the reality is more complicated.

also yes obviously some libs are still stubborn about Iraq, the worst ones, but for the most part its generally agreed that the Iraq War was a bad thing.

I actually don't think they'll ever change their minds about this one. They'll just bury the nuance forever. In 10 years they're not going to be saying "I always knew it was wrong" they're going to be saying "what? a war in ukraine? sorry i havent read about that, i dont really know ancient history"
