“Oh, so it’s good when we did but bad when anyone else does, huh?”
I did not say that.
Our actions with regards to Ukraine are not inseparably linked to what the US may or may not have done in years past. Or even concurrently.
I’ve also been known to cook multiple dishes at the same time. And just because I once cooked sauerkraut is no reason why I can’t cook matzoh ball soup.
I also like bourbon but why should that preclude me from enjoying tequila?
See, you’re engaging in a form of logic that quite simply isn’t logical. I believe the logical fallacy you’re engaging in here is called a ‘Tu Quoque’ argument.
You’re attempting to discredit or disallow an action by calling out an unrelated hypocrisy.
Here’s a useful video you might enjoy as much as I do:

This is not an “unrelated” hypocrisy. It’s waging war on Russia for doing exactly what we have done.
