Poland 3 times in less than 25 years.
Thats last 120 years. So what projection?
That's some of the countries usa and its lackeys invaded. Projection, as always.
Firstly you are conflating Russia and the USSR. Secondly, just saying names of countries without context amounts to nothing more than a gish gallop. But let's go through point by point:
Even a EU commission tasked with investigating the 2008 conflict admitted it was started by Georgia and its US puppet government who attacked and started shelling South Ossetia.
What? Wtf are you even talking about? Russia has consistently protected Armenia and put its own peacekeepers' lives on the line to aid the Armenian people. Are you confusing Russia with Azerbaijan/Turkey?
Nazi ally who went on to participate in the Siege of Leningrad that killed over a million people. Encouraged by the British to reject any and all negotiations with the Soviets that could have averted the Winter War.
Again: what? Are you just pulling random country names out of your ass?
Not a country. Part of Russia. Russia had every right to subdue US backed terrorist separatists.
The USSR was explicitly asked by the government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, a Soviet ally and the legitimate government of Afghanistan at the time, to intervene and help them fight the US backed islamist terrorist insurgency.
Russia intervened in an ongoing civil war that had been raging for eight years following a fascist, US backed coup that ousted the democratically elected president. This after every attempt at negotiating a diplomatic solution was rejected by the Kiev regime and its US masters.
Russia acted according to international law and accepted the defensive request of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics which were and still are under attack by Kiev regime forces.
Wtf are kind of drugs are you on? We're talking about real history here not alternate reality fantasies.
Poland invaded the territories of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania right after WWI while the newly established Soviet Republics were still embroiled in the Russian civil war against the Whites and expeditionary forces of a dozen imperialist nations who invaded Russia to restore the Tsar's tyranny.
The Soviet forces fought back but due to being stretched thin Poland managed to steal parts of Ukraine and Belarus in violation of the borders set for Poland after WWI.
When the Nazis invaded Poland and the Polish government fled into exile the Polish state ceased to exist. The USSR stepped in to protect the territories of "Eastern Poland" aka the stolen Ukrainian and Byelorussian lands from also being overrun by Nazis.
In doing this they saved millions of people and provided safe haven for countless Jews who would undoubtedly have faced extermination otherwise. The Soviets didn't even fight against Polish forces and no one in the international community at the time recognized this as an invasion.
As for a third time, do you mean to say that the Red Army's liberation of Poland from Nazi occupation was a "Russian invasion"? Are you pro-Nazi?
