This level of double think is really amazing. Within one sentence, "US has plenty of wars" -> good guys, Putin has one war -> terrorist, literally Hitler.

I'm not condoning Putin btw. It's just baffling all the excuses that are made for US aggression vs Russian aggression. Can you imagine if China put their weapons into Mexico? They'd be stupid to do that. But that's what Ukraine wants. In the end it's Ukraine, Russia and the tax payer that looses.

If America was actively attempting to annex Sonora I'd be happy to make the same arguments defending China if it armed Mexico

It's not about moral arguments or right or wrong. No matter the reason or circumstance, the US would never allow it. Any president not being aggressive about "Chinese weapons on our doorstep" would be ousted. My point is that a decision was made which was a red line for Russia. But we only ever talk about Russia not the deliberate crossing of the red line.

it's 100% about moral arguments of right and wrong. just because the US's wars are evil 99% of the time isn't a reason to reject the one good one
