How do you know that someone is eating up Russian propaganda? I'll tell you: if when you say "Russia did something bad" their response is "the USA is something bad". Something something whataboutism.
But what I realize is that this is the biggest evidence of what a culturally irrelevant country Russia has become. Can you imagine, if a journalist told Biden "the USA is bad because it invaded Iraq" and his response was "Russia also invaded countries"? Wouldn't that be absolutely hilarious? It would. Why? Because Russia has become culturally irrelevant. Russia doesn't matter any more.
So irrelevant that you have to pump billions of dollars into similar country forcing them to fight to death, flood EU with arms, raise food prices world wide and the senile demented "leader of free world" has no idea what's going on inspite of break neck inflation and guaranteed recession
Maybe because those 4 countries were run by oppressive dictators and however stupid the invasions were (Afghanistan: 20 years of money burning and Taliban are back in power, Iraq: epic clusterfuck), civilized people weren't going to be offended that much about attempts to topple dictators. But well, let's see you equalize Zelensky with brutal dictators in your reply, or is it because the anti-Russia media's been brainwashing the rest of us?
You seem to have twisted reality so much that your reply will probably just frustrate me because I'm sure you'll manipulate yourself to not understand my point. Maybe it would have been easier to downvote you to put the frustration in your court...
Asking for a friend: Is illegally invading countries under false pretences and bombing civilians alright if they don't have your preferred political system?
If I can rephrase your comment, so now that I've refuted your "Why America not banned?" question, you pivot to "who cares about civilized society, might is right, everyone should just bow down before Putin's threat of violence! Resisting is what clowns do!".
If that's how you think, why do you care about CERN not doing the right thing like banning America when it endangered civilians who were trapped in dictatorships?
How about you look up the definition of grasping at straws...

Mainly because the USA didn’t do a genocide like Russia is doing right now, nor did they claim those countries are illegitimate like Russia is doing, nor did they try to integrate conquered land into their state like Russia is doing, nor did they threaten nuclear strikes like Russia is doing.
