The way you say it makes it sound like it was wrong when the USA did it, but okay for the russians to do. Pick one. If it’s wrong, then it’s wrong for russia to do it now regardless of what other countries did in the past.
If it wasn’t wrong for the US then it’s not wrong for Russia. We have no basis to wage a proxy war against Russia for doing the same thing we’ve been doing for decades. Only difference is that Russia is fighting on its own borders. We never were.
