Because that's the propaganda speech you've been fed all your life.

It wasn't about "liberating" any more than it is about "liberating Ukraine", it's about war profiteering.

US Afghanistan exit meant that they had to trigger a "fresh war" to keep the military industrial complex monster up and running. Wasn't that hard to bait Russia into a war. The best part is that the us expects China to understand it's "national security interests" when they clearly never cared about the security interests of other countries.

War profiteering accusations always sounded off. Isn't it more obvious that we're just looking at empires doing what empires do?

Ah, the ‘ol “the CIA is responsible for all bad things (except for when they are completely and invariably incompetent) and all these bad people are simply being forced into it by the military industrial complex” line combine with the “Russia is just an innocent bystander here. Putin, praise be his name, was forced into a war of aggression by the evil West and their homosexual lovers.”

Got it.

Well I can finally put that to rest. My reasoning was that life can get boring and dudes want to play with guns. I used to solely blame the MIC but then I realized that war is like an investment, with multiple desired outcomes.
