So countries should have attacked the US when it committed it's illegal wars in the middle east, to stop emboldening the aggressor? I don't think that would have created a better world. It's easy to say things like this about your geopolitical enemies, but allies get away with it all the time.
Sanctioning US back then would be interesting. BTW war in Afghanistan wasn't illegal.
and why do you say that?

I've seen you touting your opinions as "the world waking up" but I hope the downvotes make you realize that they are in fact not representative, no matter how much your TikTok bubble tells you otherwise.

There was no "CIA-backed coup" in Ukraine. A president that caved in to Russian pressure to back out of tighter economic relations with the EU saw massive protests in response, ordered to shoot protesters, killed over a hundred of them, and then fled the country when he understood that he would be facing criminal charges.

That's what you seem to think, when in reality your opinions are extremely controversial. I don't really need to argue about this. The downvotes and flags speak for themselves.
FYI, you are breaking HN rules by talking about downvotes.

What would you do? Install a favorable dictator? Thanks to warmongering there isn't much of a diplomatic route to peace where we still need it. Petty ulterior motives held by world 'leaders' have made it hard.
A ton more sanctions, becoming less dependand on russian oil and gas, killing nordstream. But in 2014, not 2022. Probably would have helped
