Lol yeah can you imagine?
What if Russia had military bases in other countries like Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Central African Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, Madagascar, Mozambique or Sudan?
Imagine if they had bombing campaigns in random countries like Syria, Georgia, Libya, Central African Republic or Mali.
Also imagine what would happen if the US would bomb one of their own cities like Minneapolis or Tulsa Oklahoma so thoroughly that it would become known as one of the most destroyed cities in modern warfare
Don't get me wrong, the US is an imperialistic power hungry repressive country which imposes its will on plenty of smaller countries, but let's not pretend that Russia is better in any way, shape or form, they're just not as successful in exacting power outside of their sphere of influence.
Edit: lol someone pointed out correctly that this map is just a map of US embassies, holy fuck tankies are idiots
Obviously none of that would ever happen because Russia isn't a western imperialist power
