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.

If the conflict stays like it is, just a constant battlefield with meters traded back and forth every week, then they probably won't. It'll just ... slowly fade away from their minds.

Now, something big is going to have to happen like a bomber full of ordinance gets knocked out of the sky over a densely populated civilian area or a nuke plant melting down... something that kills a TON of people in a very short period of time... then they might "burn their uniforms" a year or two later.
