We have initiated far more wars than Russia in the past 3 decades. And none of them were in our neighborhood. All way off in other people’s backyards deposing leaders covertly or using raw military power to impose “democracy” where they don’t want it. And meanwhile, we have no border, no money and our own government attacks its own citizens if they are white, or patriotic. We have no moral right to criticize any other country at this point.
Excuse me? List of conflicts in territory of the former Soviet Union:
Central Asia: 12
North Caucasus: 8
These include the Chechen wars when Russia invaded Chechnya. Remember when the FSB was caugh bombing apartments in Moscow to start the Second Chechen war?
South Caucasus: 23
The Chechen wars were the start of Russia's move south through the Caucasus region. Lots of small wars here, First Nagorno-Karabakh War, Russo-Georgian War... that one started when Russia invaded Georgia.
Eastern Europe: 12
Including Russia invading Crimea, creating the Transnistria crisis in Moldova, and invading Ukraine.
That's 55 conflicts. Funny how Russia always has to defend herself from her smaller neighbors who want to be left alone by sending the army across the border. One might mistake Russian, and by his time in office, Putin's benevolence, for wanting to reestablish the USSR or create a greater Russian empire.
“We have initiated far more wars than Russia in the past 3 decades.”
