I am not quite sure what you are saying or implying. What parent comment is pointing out is that Russia has invaded sovereign nations (cultural and economic allies) in the 21st century. In one instance of such it would go on to vehemently deny its involvement.

That is not a hegemony right?

  From wikipedia: > Hegemony is the political, economic, or military predominance of one state over other states.

    So it isn't. Why don't you answer the question yourself?
    - datameta 5y ago
      Please explain how an invasion of a sovereign nation does not qualify as military predominance.

  > well, till someone like taliban kicks them out You might want to learn your history if you think Russia has never been kicked out by "someone like the Taliban". Mind you, Afghanistan was a much more peaceful country before the USSR invaded, but I won't fault a country too harshly for the impossible-to-predict consequences of meddling; however, I will fault a country for the motives of their meddling in the first place. E.g., does a country meddle to support or overthrow a violent regime? Do they aspire to liberate or oppress?

    > Mind you, Afghanistan was a much more peaceful country before the USSR invaded Really? Where did you get that notion? As far as I know, it was under military junta rule > E.g., does a country meddle to support or overthrow a violent regime? And? Daud regime in Afghanistan was violent, isn't it?
