It's not the victim, it's the perpetrator... if you're the USA, you can bomb european countries too (eg. serbia), or middle eastern ones, or african, south american, asian,... basically any one country you want, and nothing happens to you. You can lie about weapons of mass destruction, you can drone-bomb weddings, bomb civil passenger trains, illegally gather dna at vaccinations sites etc., and sometimes you even get a nobell peace prize for all of that. I live in the balkans, and I'm against any kind of war (obviously)... but even now, people here are more afraid of americans stirring shit up and starting a war here, than of russians.
