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 don't know that there's a collective left to realize things like in the days of the Iraq hangover. Sure there’s like your CNN watchers, but thats a shrinking group and more people now get their shit algorithmically on some level. (Consensus) reality isn't what it used to be, like my favorite cult blue curtains classic In the Mouth of Madness.
