You're talking about the U.S. invasion of Iraq, right? Where the Shock & Awe campaign killed ... between 0 and 6600 civilians [0]? Where 188k+ have died in the 19 years since the Neocons invaded [1]?

Where GWB joked about having tricked the Country into doing the Neocons' dirty work [2]?

I don't trust the media to be honest about what's actually happening in Ukraine.

This is whataboutism. Obviously the war in Iraq was a terrible mistake and tragedy, but that doesn't give anyone carte blanche to do equally terrible things.

Whataboutism is whataboutism.

the word should get you warned to stop dismissing valid comparisons.

ironically, whataboutism was an intentionally misapplied fallacy popularized by the russians.

Hi, I am not American, so I don't understand why you are bringing that country up?

The Rwandan government (since we're pointing out random countries misdeeds to apparently „excuse“ the Russin invasion?) did a genocide once, too!
