Oh yeah, poor Russia. Always forced to do truly awful things like invading neighboring countries, seizing their territories, leveling their towns and cities, and slaughtering their citizens.

If only America had that excuse. That the perceived problem or threat was immediately adjacent to us on our own borders, I mean.

We don't.

We go to a completely different continent when we invade.

Since WWII:

RUSSIA:
Russia invades, occupies, then annex, finalize the steal, and then gets an expanded Russian territory. It’s called neo-colonialism and neo-sovetism.

USA:
America momentarily occupies, try its best to eliminate the bad apples there and the terror cells, then leave the county alone. It never annexes anything, it never expands the territory of America.

The the difference between America and Russia is incomparable.
