You don’t seem to understand what I’m trying to explain to you.
Russia is the chief neocon warmongering organism the world has even seen. It not only invades, but the terrible thing is that Russia is ANNEXING countries with violence and deaths! And you don’t denounce that...
America has never annexed Vietnam.
America has never annexed Iraq.
America has never annexed Afghanistan.
America has never invaded or annexed Yugoslavia / Serbia.
We are NOT Russia you see. We don’t just take countries and make them ours.
I’m just giving you facts and they are undisputable.
Since you seem to be ok with Russia’s ultra-neocon policies of military invasions, annexations and imperialist expansionism... since you never denounce the fact that they are invading and ANNEXING sovereign nations with hundreds of thousands of troops. Well, that makes you the true uber-fanatic neocon warmonger I have ever had the honor chatting to.
America is separated by oceans from large, hostile foreign powers.
If America’s borders were a stone marker in a farmers field and not the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the USA would behave just like Russia if a hostile alliance was moving up to their farmer’s field border.
I’m a retired military intelligence officer who has lived in 13 states and 2 foreign countries. I’ve been there, done that, gone back, and done it some more. So don’t tell me I’m parochial.
I thought I was fighting to keep America free. Upon further reflection I was really fighting for Lockheed, Raytheon, the Deep State and our foreign “allies” who are the biggest bunch of useless wastes of human flesh I’ve ever had the misfortune to work with.
Washington was right.

In NATO's case the non-war approaches almost always work. Ukraine is a good example of taking over through non-war. Lots of corruption enriching our oligarchs instead of the Russian and Russian-allied oligarchs. Worked out great for the Bidens and many others.
The result of "defeating" Russia in Ukraine is easy to predict. Russia will come back in 20 or 30 or 40 years and take it back. The way to avoid that is a negotiated settlement.
Agree.
