once you stop pretending America is the universal "good guy," you begin to see the difference between empire for profit and resistance to empire.

This is exactly the problem with the way you have been trained to think.
You hear "America is not the good guy" and your reflex is to point to Putin, as if that somehow redeems Washington’s crimes.
America has over 800 military bases on foreign soil.
It has overthrown more than fifty governments, starved entire nations through blockades, and dropped more bombs since 1945 than the rest of the world combined.
It has waged war across every continent in the name of freedom while looting the very people it claims to liberate.
Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine isn’t the same as America’s endless wars.
It was not about fabricating WMDs or bombing a continent away for oil.
It was about stopping NATO’s expansion, defending Russian-speaking populations, and ending the years-long tightening of a Western noose around a neighbor’s neck.
Russia is not planting biolabs on America’s borders.
It is not surrounding the U.S. with nuclear missiles.
It is not staging coups in Canada or Mexico to install anti-American puppets.
The United States has no right to lecture anyone on sovereignty after Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen.
When America wages war, it is to loot markets, seize resources, or keep the world in its shadow.
When Russia acts, it is in its own neighborhood, in response to a real and present threat.
The point isn’t that Russia is flawless.
The point is that the moral high ground Washington claims does not exist.
And once you stop pretending America is the universal "good guy," you begin to see the difference between empire for profit and resistance to empire.
