@joelafrite7850 Karma doesn't exist. Otherwise Russia would have to pay for rebuilding Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Hungary, Korea, Syria, Afghanistan, and many more countries I can name. Russia bet that the West would do nothing this time too, but Russia crossed the line after many warnings.
So cope.
Edit: Didn't the US literally pay money for Iraq and Korea anyway?

@QueenMooSuko You can interpret it that way if you want. You can also interpret Russia's invasion as strongarming the rest of the world into dealing with their actions. Either way, this crisis was precipitated by Russia's latest invasion with clear noises by the US that it would retaliate if it occurred. Russia overplayed its hand, expecting a complacent West.
The funny part about your examples is that either nobody cares or there was just cause for the US' actions, meaning there is enough leeway for people to shrug their shoulders. That's kinda the point; if Russia had a semi-reasonable reason for invasion, then the backlash would not be so extreme. Even the WMD, lie if it was, was considered reasonable due to the years before no WMDs were found.
A good casus belli does wonders to placate world opinion. The US understands this. Russia does not. Cope if you want, I don't care in this case since Russia is getting its just desserts after claiming they'd be fine and doubling down on this invasion.
"Whats happening between Ukraine and Russia, should stay between Ukraine and Russia as far as they're concerned" Most nations feel that way when they are not affected by the results. Egypt cares a lot more about what's going on in Libya despite them not being literally involved. Russia also cares about the West's interactions with Ukraine despite not literally being involved too. So people everywhere get involved in each other's business, as long as it affects them some way.
Fact is, even if the Kremlin's propaganda network overtime, the main fact of the matter is that Russia invaded an independent Ukraine. And thus all issues are stemmed from that -blaming other actors won't work.
