Scorched earth, meatgrinder warfare, waged by Russia in Ukraine (which the US didn’t wage in Iraq), is meant to stop unending guerilla wars, which the US kept facing in Iraq. Notice that Maritupol has never had an uprising since it was taken by Russia?

“Scorched earth, meatgrinder warfare, waged by Russia in Ukraine (which the US didn’t wage in Iraq), is meant to stop unending guerilla wars...”

History disagrees with you.

The thing about guerilla war and irregular war is that they don’t end until their aims are achieved; that’s why — once there is commitment — such wars can last for decades. Russia has always faced such wars after “liberating” some country that didn’t want to be liberated. Most imperialist countries face such resistance, and the resistance usually ends up winning in the long run.
