    What do you think should be done about the US with its predilection for invading countries around the entire world?

    I dunno, let’s ask Ukraine about it. :P

      Yeah, let’s ask Ukraine about Iraq or Yemen or Syria or Libya or…

        I mean, I protested in the streets against the Iraq war voted against the administration that embarked on it, so I’m not too fussed about your nonsense.

        I’m not sure how setting the expectation that every big country ought to be able to invade every little country is an improvement here. That’s what you’re saying, right? “The US did something bad, so Russia should be able to do something bad too, no fair!”

          No, I’m saying we should take a look at what led up to this invasion so that it doesn’t happen again. I’m also calling out the hypocrisy I’ve seen.

              In this case it would’ve been avoided by the US not staging a coup and trying to cut Russia off from important oil and gas markets (which make up its largest exports).

                Ah so Ukraine can avoid being invaded by ensuring its government is always pro Russian and its people are always buying Russian products?

                  Being pro-US and always doing the bidding of the US is how countries avoid being invaded or having a coup done in their country by the US. Guess that’s just the nature of imperialist asshole nations.
