So yesterday Russia shot down a commercial airliner and intentionally destroyed a major undersea power connection between Finland and Estonia, in case you're wondering if Russian military aggression is limited to Ukraine.
so, the US invaded Iraq arguing a pack of lies as justification, killing millions of innocent Iraqis because the US regime didn't like their ruler. and their oil - wanted the oil.
the US is a predator nation, unprecedented in world history.

Euh... I totally opposed to US invasion of Irak, but your tooth is a total offtopic here.
Yeah, Irak invasion had not nearly enough justification, and Putin has given much more reasons for retaliation than Hussein did. But what are you arguing for? A NATO invasion of Russia?
About precedents: obviously, you are not a history major.

It's not offtopic, it typical whataboutism. Besides, "wanted the oil" is a load of horseshit that has been debunked time and time again. The list of oil companies operating in Iraq is public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_industry_in_Iraq#Service_contracts_licensing_results
Look who's there — Russia, a vocal critic of "US imperialism", and China! Their revenues is in the same ballpark than that of US companies. Did US do it for the right of Chinese companies to work there? Makes no sense!
