I think the US has been significantly worse than Russia over the last century if not more. They've been in various capacities in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, Panama, Cuba, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Read about their colonial, commercial and other wars as well as their regime change ops that has brought countless right-wing dictators around the world, that have killed shit ton of people.

"been in various capacities" is doing a lot of work in this comment

The U.S. is the global hegemonic imperialist power, but that doesn't mean that Russia can do no wrong.

Russia does plenty of wrong things. Their anti-imperialist and anti-fascist intervention in Ukraine is not one of those things.

Yeah that's what people are saying, they're saying Russia can do not wrong. You guys always have to make these weird strawman because when you make an actual comparison of what each country has done and why, your "both sides" argument crumbles like a cheap cookie.
