So no aid to Ukraine and show Russia that it can indeed start wars where thousands die and destroy countries, without negative consequences?

As long as it doesn't mess up with their business no government in the world care if russia starts a war. Where's the aid to gaza as a genocide is happening at the hands of israel? War is a business and politicians wants more of it

Where are the negative consequences for America? Why can America invade any country it wants and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children but for some reason when Russia does it we have to show them they aren't allowed?

Only America and its allies can start wars and commit genocides?

I didn't condone the USA's actions, and it's clear from your comment that you assume I would. It's clear to me who is the aggressor in this conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and it's not Ukraine.

Don't let your disdain for one imperialist push you over to another.

Classic whataboutism.

Because the US does interventionism, fund far-right politicians, etc., Russia (and China) can do as such, and even more. At least the US doesn't want to "regain it's old lost territories".
