China was uncharacteristically on record that they didn't want to see Putin lose.
Putin tried for regime change and install a puppet government with his gambit. It failed, his secondary objective was to cut Ukraine in half and take most of the coastal line. They're still trying to get Odessa and reduce Ukraine to a rump state.
And you were very happy with that as well, I assume.

Like the US did in 2014?

Where are you getting that?

He should, but he's not going to.
So now my question: why do you care about a fake country that wasn't even there before 1991? Because it's a US colony? Or some other reason? Maybe you own a lot of stock in the arms industry.
Many of Russia's claims are based on its Soviet legacy ("the collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest catastrophe of the 20th century") and in the same vein we're supposed to ignore Ukraine's history, because that was allegedly a creation of the Soviet Union.

My friend, you're so possessed by propaganda that you can't even quote it right. He called it the biggest GEOPOLITICAL catastrophe. Which it was for them. Russia lost half its population and went from being a superpower to a vassal state of the US, and its people immiserated.
Now, you might like this, but at least be honest about it, instead of pretending that you're doing it for "democracy" like your Iraq War. You're not warmongering for "democracy" or "human rights". You're getting hundreds of thousands of people killed for the dirty political interests of neocons.

Allegedly? Please name me the "Ukraine" that predated the 1917 Boslhevik revolution. Thank you.
If Ukraine was a creation of the Soviet Union and Putin seeks to reinvigorate and revive the Soviet Union, then why is he destroying a creation of the Soviet Union? Putin is betraying the legacy of the Soviet Union by attempting to destroy Ukraine, because of his ineffectual attempts to control and dominate Ukraine.
Iran came after.

Yeah, and they will. They're winning.
