Not relevant comparison, it has nothing to do with current conflict.
Imagine world where china-india-middle_east-russia military organization in 800 km from Washington destabilize region, training military, and doing all kinds of military activities. And US reacts, is it aggression or protection of sovereignty ?
- nine_k 4y agoRussia and Venezuela had a military exercise together in a not so distant past. The closest analogy would be the Communist Cuba and the crisis after the Soviets put nuclear weapons there. Cuba has not been annexed, or declared the core US land, though.

Quite the opposite: even before the USSR collapsed, its territorial integrity was among main concerns in the West, driven by the fear of nukes going into wrong hands. Here's a pretty good article on the topic: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/stop-tiptoeing-around-russia https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/stop-tiptoeing-... After 1991, the western aid to that you mention has been built free and stable societies in Eastern Europe, which has given Russia exceptional security at its borders. What "protection of sovereignty" are you talking about, from whom?
