If the US had previously shared a state with parts of Canada so that in some areas the US population outweighed the Canadian, and then the Canadian government started attacking and killing the US citizens in their thousands there would be an outcry and undoubtedly military action.

The US carpet bombed Serbia in 1999.

The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan under false pretences, having blamed them for 9/11.

US did install a puppet government in Ukraine in 2014 after they helped topple Yanukovych. See Victoria Nuland “F*ck the EU” video where they decided who would make up the new government.

Total nonsense, because, first, there are around 38 MILLION U.S. expats worldwide, and when they get in trouble with local governments, the U.S. works diplomatically to resolve issues. We don't invade countries for mistreating our expats.

Second, none, zero, abuse you claim Russians received in Ukraine happened before Vlad the Pute invaded, and the reason is obvious, because until that moment, Russians ruled in Ukraine.
Once Vlad invaded, Russians in Ukraine who supported the invasion became, by definition, treasonous and were subject to police or military action.

Rubbish. Precision air strikes with "smart bombs" do not equate to the Russians' indiscriminate bombings of Ukrainian civilian targets, or the kidnapping & killing of Ukrainian civilians.

winslow: " The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan under false pretences, having blamed them for 9/11. "

That's more nonsense.
The U.S. rightly held the Afghan Taliban responsible for harboring and abetting al Qaeda in launching 9/11/01.
In Iraq the U.S. rightly feared the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam believed he had and threatened his neighbors with.
Nobody has ever admitted they knew ahead of time that Saddam had no such weapons.

winslow: "US did install a puppet government in Ukraine in 2014 after they helped topple Yanukovych.

I cannot defend our Democrats.
I can defend the fact that in 2014 most Ukrainians believed their elections were rigged to put Russians in power in Ukraine.
And I can defend the fact that Ukraine has held multiple lawful elections since 2014, never returning Russians to power.

Indeed, as I understand, the vast majority of Russian speaking Ukrainians oppose Russia's invasion.
