The difference between Ukraine and all the other countries invaded in the last 50 or so years is that Ukraine is a real democracy and liberal, modern society.
Iran, Syria, Iraq, etc... are not the same as Ukraine.

We can talk about failed US policy when Russia isn't bombing apartment blocks and nuclear power plants... Or even their lack of an attempt to stop this war when they apparently knew it was coming...
You say you're not pro-US but it seems like you're trotting out the usual defenses for US foreign policy. Which is really just Raytheon policy. I'd love to see the US, Russia, NATO, etc. stop killing civilians. Really shouldn't be controversial, but I guess you could at the very least tell the victims of the families when is the "right time" to get justice.
Or is the issue that people in the Middle East are more deserving of war and strife than a country of blonde hair and blue eyed fair-skinned Europeans?
So that's what it's about. Ukrainians are white so fuck em, right? Too privileged, only been invaded and oppresed like every generation for 1000 years..
