Sure you can ask. It's just that as with all your "questions" the only reason you're doing this is so that you could bury it in a pile of fallacies... "these weren't really countries"... "you've only been to 2 countries so the other 198 haven't been devastated"... "it was USSR not Russia"... "they would have been worse off if US did it"... am I right?
Despite the obvious facts of how e.g. half of Europe was fucked by Russia for 45 years after WWII, you will continue to deny everything.
Wonderful and intriguing argument you put up there,the half of Europe you've mentioned were conquered by the Nazis and liberated by the soviets at huge costs of both man and machine,be mindful of the term liberated not fucked, the way you construct your argument not bringing to mind the question of why the soviets went there in the first place,if the Nazis didn't conquer all these parts of Germany why would the soviets March to all this countries,when have the soviets or Russians ever invaded other countries historically except in connection to when they were invade themselves like in the Napoleonic wars,the period after the Russian revolution when the us and Europe and Japan tried to invade Russia
I suggest you study your history and not confabulate stories to support your biased claims,suffice to say same thing is happening in the present day in Ukraine,literal Nazis attacking Russia sponsored armed trained and enjoying the backing of the west and later you'll ask why half of Ukraine is devastated by Russia yet no mention of the multiple peace treaties (Minsk 1 and 2) which the western powers have come out to say openly(Angela Merkel ) and a host of other officials said that it was just to buy time to build up the Ukrainian milutary, amidst the gruesome genocidal attacks they were carrying out on their own citizens in the donbass killing 14000 of them before Russia moved in simply because they were opposed to the anti Russian laws being passed banning the use and practice of Russian cultures even though they're ethnically Russian
The push to put Ukraine into NATO and to station us NATO troops and missiles(nuclear) maybe in Ukraine yet Russia is the aggressor
Amidst heavy sanctions by the west Russia still agreed yo the grain deals and their extensions with the promise that their agricultural banks would be reconnected to the swift payment system and the ban on Russian agricultural products would be lifted yet none of this came to fruition,the nordstream pipelines were blown up by we know who,the 3 attempts at peaceful negotiations directly sabotaged by the west Boris Johnson specifically acting no doubt by the bidding of Washington and yet somehow still Russia is the aggressor
Come on man be honest with yourself
