I think the fact that the US is engaged in open warfare around the world has a lot to do with it. Russia has its problems - but it hasn't deployed $Trillions of military assets around the world in order to project power, like the USA has. That has definitely got to count for something.
Did you forget about the Cold War?

Panama (1989) was an invasion with troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Pana...
Yes, almost 30 years ago the US invaded Panama to depose a dictator who had turned Panama into an international money laundering and drug smuggling center.

When was the last time the US invaded a "neighboring" country?
Usually it's a salvation to be occupied by US compared to Russia - they just kill, steal and trash territory making it doomed (Transnistria, Osetia, Ukraine teritories, Kuril islands) - a true Mordor.
Syria?
Iraq?
Afghanistan?
Cambodia?
Pakistan?
Yemen?
Nigeria?

Well, you did ask...
Its just that, the USA has its hand in the pie now. And that is the true reason for that heinous war.

Syria, Ukraine/Crimea, Georgia/Ossetia, Chechnya/Dagestan... they brutally (not used lightly, Google it) put down N. Caucus uprisings and they've flat out stolen land from Western border countries. That's not counting their own cyberwarfare efforts, which is presumably where they are investing heavily out of a recognition of the asymmetries. They sell weapons all over the world and are 2nd worst in that respect to th…
Russia is not invading and destroying foreign sovereign nations around the world. It is protecting its borders and its local territory. The USA has invaded, and destroyed, far, far more territory, resulting in 100x more human suffering and misery. Its not a duality - but if you want to be honest about the hostile intentions of nations, you have to look at the most hostile state there is: the USA. The stats are not pr…
For a split second I did believed you, that Russia haven't invaded Ukraine, it merely 'protected it's local territory'.

Nice twisted rhetoric, really. For a split second I did believed you, that Russia haven't invaded Ukraine, it merely 'protected it's local territory'.
What part of "Iraq is essential to the sovereign protection of the borders of the USA" do you .. not understand?
I'm not trying to justify Russia's military action in Ukraine - living quite close to this action, it horrified me. But, on the other hand, I'm not ever going to be compelled to agree with someone who says that the mass destruction of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen .. and so on .. is vital to the defence of the USA. Because, I know where those places are on a map, and they are nowhere near the USA ...

Yes, I did. Because its over. The West won, in 1991. Its only the USA still fighting it.
"Russia did nothing wrong!" (If you forget everything before 1991 and Georgia/Crimea/Donbass/Syria,etc).
But the USA has erred by a factor of 500x the sins of Russia, yo. If you can't understand that, I've got 1000 kilometres worth of walking refugee children to show you ..

True they just invade their neighboring countries and say the people living in those places wanted them to help
> Snowden’s revelations have hurt the United States’ relations with some allies and slowed the sales of U.S. technology products abroad. So it wasn't the spying that hurt the relations, it was Snowden. Okay. I'll stop reading now. This news source just discredited itself.
All countries spy. In fact it is imperative that they do
It can be from defense to big attack.
Only the big one can really have the budget to do so.
