It was wrong for the US to do that, and if the rest of the developed world had sanctioned the US, maybe it would have stopped sooner.

Exactly, and we agree completely on that. I think Vietnam may have heped, but it was Iraq what Putin had in mind, actually, when he decided to attack Ukraine, as there was zero consequence for Britain and the USA even after they went to war against the UN Security Council's advice, and against many European nations... unbelievable how they got away with that with no sanctions or any sort of reprimand even.

No, what Putin had in mind was how he unilaterally invaded Georgia after setting up two breakaway regions and didn't face any sanctions at all. He did exactly the same thing in Ukraine, but the West had prepared for this months in advance. If Putin cared about Iraq, he would have organized sanctions against the US himself. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/02/united-states-russi...
