MOSCOW, March 21 – RIA Novosti. The United States has failed to learn the lesson of the invasion of Iraq and risks repeating its mistakes in Ukraine, writes columnist Bradley Devlin in an article for the American Conservative. “Twenty years after the US invasion of Iraq, it is hard to find anyone who still supports this war. Many of those who have turned away from Iraq, nevertheless, fully support Ukraine,” he said. At the same time, the journalist noted that analyzing Washington’s failures in the Middle East, and in particular with regard to Iraq, one can draw a disappointing conclusion about the current crisis.According to him, the events in Ukraine are unfolding according to a similar scenario, in which the United States will find itself in a losing position. 2003, the United States and its allies launched the military operation “Shock and Awe”, aimed at overthrowing the regime of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.The pretext for the intervention, which took place without the sanction of the Security Council of the UN, was accusations that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction. As a result, US intelligence data has not been confirmed. The war resulted in the death of more than 100,000 civilians, aggravated the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, created chaos in Iraq and created the ground for the formation of the “Islamic State”*.* A terrorist organization banned in Russia.
