No one invaded Russian territory, Russia invaded Ukraine.
But - we helped overthrew a pro-Russia Ukrainian government in 2014, broke our word on the Minsk agreements and have been standing by as the post 2014 Ukrainian government has been attacking Russian minority areas in the east (something like 40,000 dead in Donbas before Russia intervened).

Have to admit I am a bit prejudiced here - I work in Cyber and Ukraine is utterly corrupt. I put it at the same level as Russia (despite the population difference - I guess a lot less good jobs - driving more computer engineers into crime).

There are no good guys here. Not Ukraine, definitely not Russia and not us either. Its like Eisenhower said - beware the military industrial complex - they need Russia to justify 13 billion dollar Carriers and the like.

Where is Europe here? - they are rich enough to defend themselves.
