That "quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi" policy of the West seems main culprit
Otherwise we can all surely agree that invading other countries is bad, be it USA or Russia or whoever doing it
Most countries never do, yet it's somehow fine if Russians do it, because they aren't the only country that's ever done it, right?
It's like coming to a party, making a fool of yourself, breaking some stuff, acting like an idiot, finally puking all over, but when someone mentions it, hey, I wasn't the only one that ever did it at a party. Doesn't matter that there was 100 people there, 95 of which never did anything like that, it's all fine because there were some people that did it. That's the Russian stance. We can murder Ukrainians because Americans murdered people in Afghanistan and Iraq and Nazis murdered Jews, so everything is fine.
Of course it's everybody else that's bad. Finland and Sweden don't invade other countries, but they're bad, Ukraine never invaded, but it's bad, Poland doesn't invade but it's bad, France is bad, the whole world is to blame just not Russians. The more I watch this war going, the more I hope this fucked up country finally bombs itself into oblivion.
