“We only intervened when the Serbs resorted to rapine and mass murder....”
Serbia was an independent sovereign nation. We attacked a sovereign nation and no amount of rhetoric will change that fact. Just like we attacked the sovereign nations of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. No different than Russia has done.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!

Sovereign means you don't annex territory for yourself, not that the regime has impunity to do what it wants (though they often get away with what they want), especially when there are now internationally recognized borders outside of the claimed "sovereignty."
Both sides fought strenuous proxy wars during the Cold War. Neither side annexed any territory until Putin.
South Vietnam was a "sovereign", too, by the way.
