So, even if it is deceiving language, it is justified by how the world currently works. Which is basically like saying "the world is amoral, so everything is justified". So forget "justified". The point is that it's obviously deceptive, manipulative language. And so when we hear it being used on us -- it's time to start thinking about who is doing the manipulation, and why. More to the point, the whole argument being made here is completely absurd, from the very get-go: "The US did X bad, Y bad. We don't like that. So therefore when Russia does Z bad, we should start treating it with empathy in regard to its security concerns, and all the awful things that the US did to not provoke it, thereby actually causing it to do Z".
