Let me list just a few of the countries that the Soviet Union/Russia has invaded since 1939:

Finland (1939-1940), Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), Afghanistan (1979-1989), Georgia (2008), and the Ukraine (ongoing).

What Russia also did repeatedly in the 20th century is *annex* forcefully part or all of many countries: Poland (1939–1956), the Baltic states (1940–1991), Finland (1940), Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina (1940).

Almost all of that is WW2 era. That was 70 years ago already.

Once we start talking post-WW2, the list of countries invaded by Russia is very very short; and post-Cold War, even shorter.

Compare it to the list of countries invaded and governments overthrown by the US in that time frame. Right at this very moment, the US is militarily engaged in more nations than your entire list INCLUDING the WW2 era.

Go ahead and make a list of countries the US has invaded, and let’s compare them. I’m interested to see what you can come up with and what you omit.

Oh and don’t forget to include the many governments overthrown via covert ops, those count too.
