Both are violent threats. US just used to be more legalistic about this sort of thing. I mean Russia also sentenced the judges in absentia in Russian courts. I don't think you could say they're better.

    Better in what way, morally? Morality isn't real and the level of geopolitics is where it's the least real. From a practical, threat assessment standpoint, one of these things is much more urgent and pressing than the other.

    I mean yeah one of them is right now bombing another European country so Russia is obviously more alarming but the American threat is pretty bad too

    One of them is currently supplying and abetting a genocide, kidnapping heads of state, shooting people in the street during gestapo raids, disappearing activists to concentration camps, bombing countries on multiple continents, trying to topple the government of Iran and preparing for multiple invasions.

    The other is at war with the puppet government of exactly one country, which was committing ethnic cleansing and who we put there as part of our own strategy of aggression.

    I know who I consider the bigger threat to peace.

    A) Greenland

    B) We started the conflict in Ukraine

    C) I cannot stress enough how much bombing the Hague is official US policy

    There's no bombing going on in Greenland as far as I know. Lots of bombing going on in Ukraine. If bombing European countries isn't an official Russian policy then they've somehow misshot a lot of missiles.
