Are you defending Russia or what? What is your point? Could you attempt to articulate a point please?

My point is: "Stop been hypocrite"

Maybe you should stop assuming that anyone who thinks it's fucked up what Russia is doing today supports every decision the US or UK or any other country has made over the past 60 years. For example, I think the US is doing the right thing by supporting Ukraine. That doesn't mean I think they did the right thing when they invaded Iraq 20 years ago. I think the US as wrong to invade Iraq, but right to help Ukraine when they were invaded by Russia.

Russia is invading Ukraine today. That's what this thread is about. Well, I guess technically they're retreating from Ukraine today. But you know what I mean.

I'm member on few USA forums for around 20 years...I noticed that current war is ALWAYS the just one for Americans...then after its over, they
start accusing Bush, Cheney, military industrial complex, CIA...verbally accusing, that is, noone ever get to court because of a posteriori American
wisdom

And now you're in the same position as the Americans 20 years ago...supporting their country while it invades and kills innocent people.... is that your point?

@Branko, you may be right in many of your appreciations on the US foreign policy and their general attitude to the world.The US craps periodically on whatever country is not doing their will, particularly when the Republican Party (which is linked to the oil cartels like a toe to a nail) is in power and has to return the financing favours.

None of that makes Putin's RF good for anything, none of that makes a government from Moscow good for Ukraine. Sometimes you have to choose between two not really good options. Given the track record of Putin and the RF government, and the general track record of using Ukraine to Chernobylize, Holodomor it, burn it to the ground to stop the enemy and using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder, I am sure you are not surprised that they are willing to put a fight to try something else.
