    “horrific - smashing the country to bits for the hell of it, it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen before”.

    ...as you say, Iraq, but also Vietnam and Korea, and probably others I'm forgetting. Imperial Japan I guess but that's a little more iffy due to the whole WW2 zeitgeist, unless you're talking about the nuclear bombs being dropped on them, which was unjustifiable

      Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Panama….the list goes on and on. The reaction to bringing such things up is one of “two wrongs don’t make a right”, which is my exact point - but somehow it’s interpreted as a pro-Putin view! Any attempt to contextualize the imperial actions of Russia against the recent past of Western imperialism is only seen as defence of Russia. This is perhaps the most maddening effect of the media coverage - that it is not morally permissible to seek understanding beyond “Russian mad man gone wild”. That one can’t discuss these things materially, in relation to (and as a cause of) Western imperial bloodlust.
