Yes it's honorable to wage a proxy war and use the lives of people thousands of miles away to further your own hegemony across the globe.

That’s what you think is going on? The US asked putin to invade? Oh yea it was literally the opposite, with Biden begging Putin not to invade for weeks before he decided to do it anyway, yet here you are blaming the US for the suffering russia is inflicting on millions of innocent people

Spoken like someone who has not been paying attention to what has gone on in the region since 2014.

There's no proxy war. You're dehumanizing Ukrainians by denying their agency

Dude we were denying their agency in 2014 when we were helping install their new pro-EU government

No, stating that a popular revolt against a corrupt leader is the result of our actions is denying their agency

I never claimed the revolt itself was a result of their actions, I claimed that we were actively involved in installing their new government, which we were.
