The hypocrisy is already in characterizing them out of context as "military invasions and ongoing occupation".
As opposed to: "The US had continued to streghten the knot around Russia ever since the 90s, getting into bed with nearby countries to suffocate it, in areas which the US has no national disputes and no business of being there. In one those endeavours, after sponsoring and supporting several 'orange revolution' attempts, it helped topple the legitimate, elected government of Ukraine, and establish a new government with literal -not metaphorical, actual- neo-nazis in power. Russia, then, went in an area of Ukraine that has long historical roots to Russia, and a majority of population of Russian ethnicity, and annexed it".
The US has toppled governments, bombed countries, and supported dictatorships all around the globe for much less -- even for just considering to nationalize oil or make changes affecting its business interests there (aka "banana republics").
And this, to contrast, is in Russia's border, with a Russian ethnic population, and an unfavorable government, in an area which used to be part of Russia proper back (way before USSR).
Kind of like if Baja California had 65% americans, and the USSR had helped topple mexico's government with a pro-USSR coalition featuring neo-nazis, all the while orchestrating nearby countries (Canada, Panama, whatever), to be part of the Warsaw Pact.
So, the US allows 100% (of aggression, invasions, etc.) to itself all around the globe, and then cries if Russia does 10% of that in its own borders and/or where there's Russian population.
And then US citizens, always "informed", go on about Russia being worse, or at least equivalent, and anybody pointing otherwise is doing 'whataboutism'.
>> and establish a new government with literal -not metaphorical, actual- neo-nazis in power.
Typical Russian lie. After the Yanukovich fled, there was a provisional government made up from people who were ALREADY in the Ukrainian parliament, which would serve only as an interim power until the elections, that were planned just in two months. Yet people of Donbass and Crimea never got to participate in said elections, due to annexation of Crimea and seizure of power in Donbass region.
All of that led to war, millions of broken lives, thousands of deaths, just because of some fabricated TV fantasy.
Because there is "Russian" population. You are defending military adventurism which reduced Donetsk, the city of major importance in Ukraine, to some lawless pseudo-soviet parody.
And again, US does not have business of being in Ukraine, neither does Russia.
Do you really think that this stuff in Donbass really helped anyone?
Where do you think it is better to live, in Russian-speaking Ukrainian Kharkov or in 'independent' Donetsk.
