Russia invaded Ukraine. The USA didn't. They have also done terrible things but we are discussing the invasion of Ukraine now.
Just because the USA has overthrown governments doesn't give Russia any right to invade Ukraine many years later.
Ditto. A country which is so afraid of freedoms and rights can't be trusted. Any reasonable country allows journalists to live.
USA literally published a paper on how they want to goad Russia into a war in Ukraine with the goal of extending Russia https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
USA ran a coup in Ukraine that overthrew a democratically elected government to put a far right regime in place that then committed atrocities against people of Donbas since 2014. I lovew how you ignore all that since it doesn't fit your infantile narrative.
I never said I trust the US regime or their media.
Russia intervened in 2014 by for example occupying Crimea.
Oh jeez you're right, I wonder what that was in response to.
