You are implying I agree with US invasions, which I don't.

You're also implying that since the US did it Russia should be allowed to. Is it bad when the US does it or not? If the US doing it is bad, then Russia doing it must also be bad (unless you don't actually care about invasions, but just like Russia/don't like the US). Be consistent or your opinion doesn't have any value.

Russia is "allowed" to do it for the same reason the US was "allowed" to invade Iraq.
