Will libs have a collective realization about Ukraine like they did with Iraq or will they stay stubborn in it forever?
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.
No. Their role is to support it, like Iraq, then lament the consequences after the fact as damage control.
I remember Chris Hedges saying something to that measure in regards to Iraq. The liberal intellectual class is there to support the state and American project.
I guess I should have been more specific, but when I say "libs" I'm not referring to the thought leaders, I'm referring to the rank and file. (This is generally what I mean when I use the term in a general sense actually).
