It's only because of geography that they haven't done it.

That's just an opinion, the fact is they haven't.

Russia in the last 30 years invaded and occupied Moldova, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria - not to mention the atrocities committed in Africa.

But with the exception of Syria, Russia always had genocidal intent - deny cultures, erase them, and make those countries as unstable as possible while remaining occupied.

I'm not saying what the US did was good, or right, but there's a big difference.

The US never denied the existence of cultures, languages, etc.
