Why is it an "intervention" when the USA invades the middle east but when Russia does it it's an invasion?

>US is a democracy.
Best joke of 2022

You're the joke hahaha

The middle easterners flew two planes into enormous structures in new york unprovoked. this was sponsored by the taliban.

the taliban live in the middle east.

at the same time, the americans were made aware that governments positive to the taliban had nuclear weapons (or just oil if you hate america)

to kill two birds with one stone the americans went in to these places and demolished the middle east.

the middle easterners fucking deserve it

the ukrainians may or may not deserve it. what is unacceptable about this was is (1) it's on the doorstep of western europe (2) it's causing millions of refugees to flee to western europe who will never leave

this war needs to stop. it's like subterranean warfare against the west by causing refugees to go ther

For me, both were invasions. Only meaningful difference, is the levels of control on the new regime. Russia wants to annex at least part of the Ukraine while the US never wanted to. Both want amicable goverments after the invasion tho. So the level of control is different, but one could argue that is only a minor difference.
The difference on the backlash can be explained by the number of allies. When invading Iraq or Afghanistan, the US seeked out allied and made concessions to them to form a group that supported the attack, and the target country and their regime was isolated. The Ukraine was loosely allied with western Countries and in various stages of entering the EU and/or NATO. Russia did only get Belarus on board. China is kinda with them but not really.
Basically they attack the weakling with big brothers and friends, while the US picked on an orphan with no friends.

We left Iraq, who now is a buddy of Iran. Shia rule. What hack will the "brave" Putin ( sitting at a long, long, long table while meeting his flunkies ) install? How about Trump? At least he was not chicken shit about covid. That picture of Macron and Putin-on-the-Ritz sitting 30" apart is priceless.

Bru, the eastern half of Ukraine is full of gas. Follow the money, "muh soviet union glory" is a smoke screen.

because the US is the global hegemon and controls the narrative of the nations that follow the capitalist framework.

nations who oppose the economic power structure of the US have to be made into "allies", followers or be destroyed. the reason for this is the expansionist character of profit; the base of the economic system.
national boarders limit the profit rate - and capitalism needs a steadily rising profit rate to satisfy the interest rates of the central banks.
this profit rate has to rise potentially, not nominally - accelerating the need for expansion to prevent economic crashes (which happen either way, because they are systemically inherent).

so the US and other capitalist nations compete for spheres of influence to guarantee profitable relationships, oftentimes even predatory (see Africa and Middle East). this enables the US economy, especially the big businesses and banks to continue their lives of luxury.

Ukraine is such a sphere of influence that has been favourable to EU and US interests since the coup in 2014. Russia competing for this sphere is being combatted by Western media to manufacture the consent of the masses for the sanctions (which mainly affect the poorest people in Russia).

and one way of manufacturing consent is to control the narrative by controlling the language.

Because western elite rats think that international laws and accords only apply to them selectively and any country or leader who does not dance their tune is a dictator.

Bear leaving it's cave forever simply means that rod and ring will strike. But some elites do want it to happen, especially the Davos rats, who get wet dreams about depopulation. And since their covid scam failed so spectacularly that they can't hide the scale of vaccine side effects, they are more adamant at causing a global catastrophe.

Reading some of the "réddit tier" NPC parrot replies in this thread is fucking shocking because it just confirms how fucked up zoomers and millennials are. Lefty/pol script tards with their iPhones shit up everything thinking they can make a difference and alter the outcome.

Afghanistan half 1 had an express military purpose that wasn't regime building. Iraq and Afghanistan half 2 was a faggy "spread democracy" fuckfest that virtually everyone in the US recognizes now as a Bad Idea.

Russia is choosing to mire itself in a 15+ insurgency in the Ukraine because they couldn't be bothered to learn anything from global military conflicts from 2001 to 2020.
