Russia invaded Ukraine last week on Thursday, February 24. That day also marked the 31st anniversary of the launch of Operation Desert Sabre, the ultimate ground offensive that would deliver the final blow to Iraq in the 1990-91 Gulf War. Anyone who consciously experienced that war and who thinks about it today will undoubtedly recall the CNN live images from the front lines. Viewers could watch ‘Operation Desert Storm’, the Allied forces’ campaign to liberate Kuwait from the Iraqi occupation, as if it were a video game.
