Also not invasion, but the Cuba blockade is inexcusable too

    Agreed, the effective oil blockade of Cuba in 2026 (this fucking year, fucking firehose of atrocities) is inexcusable, as is the (less-impactful) embargo that's been going on for decades.

    But if we're broadening it from invasions to general imperialism, Russia's list would also grow, making the comparison attempted by the original commenter (which itself is nothing but a whataboutism, as regardless if the US's crimes equaled or even exceeded Russia's in the same time period, it still wouldn't justify Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country) even less meaningful.
