Is Russia a bully?
No. Russia and its land army are in defense against Western scum and their appetites. See NATO snake, slithering its slimy way toward Moscow. Yes, I know, anybody can apply...except Russia because the slimy snake needs an enemy to exist. That's why Russia was refused. Duh!
Count the navy ships and bases outside of Russia and the US and you will very quickly get the picture of who the aggressor is.
When you are done, add up the deaths caused by the cuddly Western "democracies" and the "evil" Russia since 1946. Those numbers do not fit on the same scale.
BTW, why is all that violence you mentioned always directed against the US and its assets but not China and Russia? Did terrorists ever bomb a Chinese embassy?
Well, in fact, they did. It was the US. In Belgrade. By mistake, of course. Did China attack anyone for that stunt?
They sheltered Bin Laden who was responsible for killing thousands of Americans
Learn English and the meaning of "sheltered". If Osama is wanted, you file a request to extrdite. Only a war-craving terrorist state invades a sovereign country because it wants to arrest one guy.
Can the US invade Mexico because Mexico "shelters" narcos? They killed hundreds of thousands in the US but the border is open wider than ever. Next time, try harder...
When and where did OBL kill thousands of Americans?
