A 5 seconds search shows that the US were bombing Syria as close as one year ago.

it's a very different and more complex situation. they did bad and good things at the same time in that area.(when I say good I mean trying to fix the mess they partly created)

Russia is just straight up invading a neighboring country. there is no good in any of their current actions.

I was mostly talking about what happened just after 9/11.

The situation in Ukraine might be more complex than you think.

how?

A few keywords to search for: Russians in Ukraine, Maidan, Minsk protocol, neonazis in Ukraine, NATO and Ukraine.

it can be summarized as Putin want more power and access to a warm sea

Not so long ago you were claiming that the US hadn't attacked anyone in your lifetime. Confronted to the evidence that it was a false statement you start making a difference between the "good wars" and "bad wars". In one case the situation is "complex", in the other it can be summarized in one sentence. Don't you see the double standard here? How about "Russia takes action to protect its people against Western imperialism and fight nazism"? Of course that would be an equally oversimplified summary of the situation.

"Not so long ago you were claiming that the US hadn't attacked anyone in your lifetime."

the English curriculum in Russian schools must be really awful because I never said that

You mean, the jewish president is a real Nazi ? Am I missing something ?
