      Even earlier than that, the US has been mucking around in regime changes and gunboat diplomacy since the late 1800s. Particularly in Latin America, this is a common thing. According to Wikipedia I counted liked 12 countries they’ve “regime-changed” over the last 120 years.

      Putin is just the latest in a long line of Muscovite imperialists. Russia has always been an imperialist project, just lke China and the USA.
