Nope, there were plenty of times.
...and then West made anti-missile systems with clear anti-Russian intent, supported Orange Revolution, supported Kosovo independence, added Baltics into NATO, supported Georgian shelling of Russian peacekeepers, and many more.
Why do you think Russia is the only one who has to "behave good" and your side is free to "do whatever is convenient"?
But they are all terrorists, just like any form of opposition. But that's probably western propaganda.
Yes, like invasions of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
...and Afghanistan.
Most well known example - Assange.Can you give an exemple of suppressing our own dissenters ? As far as I can tell, they do not jump through the windows or accidentaly shoot themselves in the head.
Another more recent example.
Assange is not dead yet, so that a plus compare to Russia I would say. And yet, he would get a fait trial because he has a few questions to answer for. Again a plus compared to Russia.
What invasion of Yugoslavia ? You mean when people where killing each others over religion and territories? At least, we went there with good intention even if it did not work out very well, where Russia usually go in those for conquering, warmongering and do not mind working with dictators (it is easier to do when you are one yourself).
Navalny isn't dead either.
And neither is the topic starter Protasevich.
Fair trial, yeah, sure, keep telling yourself that.And yet, he would get a fait trial because he has a few questions to answer for. Again a plus compared to Russia.
I can easily claim good intentions in Ukraine as well.What invasion of Yugoslavia ? You mean when people where killing each others over religion and territories?

Still less total deaths and destruction then Western "interventions" that displaced millions.
Nothing that compares to US reducing most of Raqqa to rubble. ...not that they skipped hospitals either.

So you agree that you destabilized more of the world then Russia.
Good.
Somehow West is always "stability for us but not for you".
Russia did less damage overall.
"Syria would have been over" is a cope - Libya still isn't over and there West wasn't blocked in UN. Fine example of how "unimpeded Western intervention" unfolds.
Clearly you were unwilling to commit forces that would have Assad actually fall; so as ISIS was getting more bold, including inside Russia, we had option to act and used it.
Somehow until Russia went there West just didn't bother to bomb all the oil ISIS was selling to Turkey to finance their operations...
...oil that as far as i'm aware US forces still illegally hold to this day.

Like when? False flag shelling of it's own troops near Finnish border to excuse invasion? Wow, the good faith, I'm so feeling it. How about ex soviet bloc countries? Great good faith there. Invading and annexing Ukrainian territory, good faith? No, you see, they gave their nukes up for promises of it's sovereignty being protected. Russia rewarded that by backstabbing.
