    The Russia is doing it on a far smaller scale. The US does it so often it’s boring.

    See: how many military bases the US has around the world. See also: how Hawai’i became a state. But The Russia bad.

      A far smaller scale? Show me where USA has ever done something like what the Russia has done in Groznyi, Aleppo, Mariupol and Bakhmut?

      When was the last time USA spent a night sending several hundred drones aimed at civilian homes? And when was the last time the Russia did not do just that?

      What about the Kakhovka dam? When was the last time USA caused such devastation anywhwere at all?

      I mean, I’ve been in several demonstrations against many wars waged by the US, and I most likely will attend many more, and I stopped buying US-made products when the Iraq war began. But come on, what the Russia is doing is in a whole other league compared with USA.

      And of course I know about Hawaii. Just blatantly overthrowing a country’s leadership and taking over it in such modern times is apalling. But have you ever heard of Siberia? Did you know that it is nowadays a part of the Russian Federation? Ever read of that? And then, if you look at Mali, South Sudan, Belarus, Libya, Kazakhstan, and Syria, the amount of pain and horror caused for the locals because of Russian meddling in their countries has been huge. Yeah, regarding that, USA is doing very similar shit, but they do at least cause less destruction than the Russia does when doing the same.

      And USA has Guantanamo, but the Russuahas twenty of those.
