But it was simply protecting it’s security interests when it invaded Ukraine. Ukraine did not colonise Russia, this is not a war of national liberation. This invasion is not anti-imperialist, and it wasn’t necessary

Koreans and Vietnamese in shambles now. Vietnamese even twice.

If Russia starts an all out war with Georgia I won’t support that either.

There already was war in Georgia, in kinda similar circumstances like in Ukraine - US meddling, proxification, Georgian army attempting to ethnically cleanse Ossetians. Georgians just had more brains and less nazism and backed off when things turned contrary to their US masters promises and Russian army moved on them.

I don't even know what you're talking about anymore, are you equating Vietnam liberating Cambodia from Pol Pot with Russia invading Ukraine?

Yes, though if anything, Russia have way more reasons than "just" the genocide of Russians and Russian speaking Ukrainians. I also want to note how USA have a long traditions of using proxies to destabilise countries and plunge them into wars, no matter who starts and for which reasons. Bonus points for first dividing them, but what else was done to USSR in 1991, remember that massive majority of Ukrainians voted against dissolution of USSR and independence of Ukraine.

I'm sorry but that passage from Foundations doesn't apply to every war you support. Vietnam was not waging a war of national liberation against Cambodian colonisers and it had nothing to do with Vietnamese self determination. I don't understand anymore why you say the things you're saying so I think I'll leave it here.
