> nor attack any country

It is not like citizens of Iran decide to attack Israel or like sponsoring terrorist orgs attacking Israel. I am not sure if Russians freely vote in referendum to attack Ukraine. These decisions are made by despots ruling these countries and then their citizens suffer. Either they die in trenches or suffer economic misery. What for? China too can live without Taiwan. Chinese people do not need to have another island belonging to their country. Only despots wants to have statues raised after them, or write their names in history books, because all other things: Power, Money, Sex they already have.

It's true that Russians didn't vote to attack Ukraine. Nevertheless, the invasion had broad popular support at the beginning.

They sure as hell didn't protest much when Russia occupied Crimea and started war in Eastern Ukraine.
