      When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the “special operation to de-nazify Ukraine” narrative. Some still do today.

      When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.

      It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.
