russias actions in ukraine and the USA-s serial invasion are nowhere near the same thing...
the situation in ukraine was not black and white, russians live in ukraine and it used to be part of the same country...I am not defending the violence that was done in the name of this...just pointing out a grey area...
BUT
the USA serial invading countries on other continents is in a whole league of its own and so is the USA-s direct financial interest from war...#1 employer in the USA = war inc...#1 export war (costs other countries trillions and costs the USA trillions)...#1 government spending = war...
the USA is in a league of its own...russia is a small time player in comparison...
