What?? I am just saying that if you think the world is made of black and white villains vs heroes, you are buying into the propaganda from one side or another. This is not a bold claim, this is basic logic from anyone mature enough to know that no country, and no person, is just simply either good or bad. They do bad things in order to accomplish what they believe to be good things. The US drop two atomic bombs on Japan, a horrifically evil act, but it did so in order to defeat what it believed to be an even bigger evil. Russia invaded Ukraine, a violent, barbaric act that caused the deaths of at least a million on both sides, but it did so because it, like the US, believed to be doing what's right to ensure their country's independence in the longer term since, as they'd been saying for decades, Ukraine must never be allowed to join a hostile military alliance as that would compromise forever Russia's own ability to defend itself from invasion from western powers, when Operation Barbarossa is still very, very alive in their minds to this very day. It doesn't matter if you agree with either the US or Russia on whether they were actually right, what matters is that they themselves thought they were right, given their own circumstances, and people love to ignore that and judge them by their own perceptions of what they should think. This is a sign of immaturity: you probably judge people around you in your life like that as well, by what you see from the outside without any idea what's going on inside their heads.
