19 MARCH 2003 – OPN IRAQI FREEDOM AIR CAMPAIGN BEGINS -20th ANNIVERSARY
“My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.”
– Pres. G.W. Bush
On 19 MAR 2003, Pres. Bush declared Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF), a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq with the goal of deposing Saddam Hussein’s decades-old despotic regime and eliminating its capacity to create or utilize weapons of mass destruction. #USArmy #TRADOC #IraqWar @USArmy
The U.S. Army’s involvement in OIF began on the night of 19 MAR, when the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) attacked enemy border observation stations in the country’s southwest.

In der #Ukraine mehren sich die Stimmen, dass der Westen aufhören solle, Panik rund um das Land zu säen.
Laut WSJ erklärte Selenski seine Sorge gegenüber #Biden , dass die "düsteren" westlichen Prognosen der ukrainischen Wirtschaft einen erheblichen Schaden zufügen könnten

Zur Erinnerung.
Bereits Ende Januar forderte Selenski, der Westen solle aufhören "Panik zu säen".
Die Gefahr einer "russischen Invasion" sei nicht höher als früher.
Die ständige mediale Hetze schrecke aber massiv Investoren ab.
