The Coalition , led by the US, slaughtered them. I could see the effects of “shock and awe” from 100 miles away. Their armoured columns were completely destroyed as they turned tail and ran for home, their air defences were useless and their airforces destroyed on the ground. Their Scud missiles were ineffective. I think it’s fair to say they were defeated ! Cheers. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Iraqi military was comprehensively beaten, it was totally one sided. What happened afterwards has absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the war. I think what you may mean is “We won the war…..but lost the peace”, but it’s pointless discussing it with you if you keep moving the goalposts ! I was there, and I can categorically say we won the war. I never mentioned Afghanistan. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 The comparison between Ukraine and Iraq is a good one and one I’ve been keenly making since Russia first moved last year. Iraq was logistically a more ambitious objective for the coalition than Ukraine is for Russia. And yet Iraq was comprehensively conquered within weeks… The greater political policy will forever be judged as a failure though. Militarily it was a huge success, politically it was a disaster. Russia failed to achieve the same level of military success. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
