(Implied: the US should let Russia invade and annex them) This type of double standard attitude… You didn’t say this of NATO invading Yugoslavia did you? Or for that matter Iraq, Afghanistan or Lybia. Why not? And the difference here is is that Russia isn’t even demanding a full-on regime change for a minority of people unlike the US/NATO. Russia just wanted the parts where a majority of people wants an out, to be able to step out, negotiations where Ukraine steps down on it’s aggression against Russian minorities and promises not to use their country for nuclear missiles aimed at Russia in areas where Russian minorities live. They’re not accusing Ukraine of having weapons of mass destruction without proof. “Russia and the US have some details in common if you blur your eyes so they are morally and politically identical” Yes, the US with it’s current concentration camps, legalized slavery in prisons, demanding peace prizes for conducting war against Venezuela among many many countries it invaded, with a history of starting out with slave owners on stolen land, “demanding to be free”, which meant not having to pay taxes for tea, then continue with hundreds of genocides and having a civil war over the discussion whether or not slavery was bad, is indeed nowhere near similar to a country that decided to dethrone their monarchs, install socialism, was a thriving success, but with fossil fuels still determining winners and losers in the 19th and 20th century, it got corrupt, is now capitalist but slowly moving leftwards with eyes more and more looking to the socialist East.
