    You do realize that the US has invaded far more countries than Russia has, do burgerlanders have no self awareness at all?

      @yogthos @theunknownmuncher I am in the US and I realize this. There was a funny meme a while back about look how aggressive Russia is, they put their country all around our military bases. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in that. What other country has military bases throughout the world?

      Russia literally invaded everyone around them. Look at all the former USSR counties.

      The US has been involved in a lot of places but that’s not a justification for Russia attacking its neighborhood.

        27 million Soviets died liberating these people from the Nazis, and this is the thanks they get.

        Does Russia invading Ukraine justify the US invading Iraq?

        Though we are discussing individuals here, should we ban Americans in projects to maintain moral integrity?

        BTW are you referring to historical (pre 1990) expansion as well? Because an American really shouldn’t want to go there.
