US sure do seem like the good guys, if you happen to live next to even worse guys, such as Russia. The US might want your natural resources, but that's less bad

US sure do seem like the good guys, if you happen to live next to even worse guys, such as Russia. The US might want your natural resources, but that's less bad than Russia's desire to annex your entire nation and genocide its population.

But this is "whataboutism" and not addressing the point of my comment. The actual point of my comment is: the narratives of good guys / bad guys are silly propaganda. Geopolitics were never about morals, unluckily for us. Edit: for the record, by no means I like the Russian regime "better" than the west. Yes, Putin bad.
