    Ffs, I forgot this is social media and the average intelligence is room temperature. Of course, Russia is bad. The point is that there is no fucking outrage when the US declares they’re just going to take an island. In case of Russia’s invasion we had 24/7 rolling coverage and breaking news banners on all news sites

      I don’t know what’s your news are, but I didn’t have the same perception (France and Canada):

      There was some anger when Trump floated the idea of “taking” Canada, but he wasn’t taken seriously.

      There was definitely an outrage when Trump repeated he would have Greenland by force if needed, and he was taken seriously.

      There are mild reactions now when he says he will take an island from Iran because he’s lost all credibility. Fact is I’m not sure he could get his ships close enough to the island before they’re sunk by Iran’s drones…
