> Why would Russia attack anyone? What would be the point of such an attack? I was responding to the GP's hypothetical. > Why US is allowed to attack anyone, destroys whole countries and kill millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of civilians and everybody is ok with it (recent examples: Libya, Afghanistan, Syria)?
