the current Russian program under Putin defines "fascism
I get your argument. I'm exhausted and can't articulate my counter, but there's a difference, I think, that makes that label a bit inaccurate. I'm sure we can get into this another time when I can present a better case than "I disagree".
The ethnic/religious issues are important to this story, and it really does go back quite some time. Some interpretations of history suggest this is a story that matters more than we'd think. I'm not an expert on the history of the region, but have read enough to think that it's something to be aware of.

yeah, bottom line. stop invading other countries if you don't want trouble.. Unless you are America, or our ally. Or Russia lol
Yes, but who is invading who?
The US trying to get Ukraine into NATO was a direct threat to Russia. Same with some of the military bases encroaching closer to Russia's borders.
I'm not a fan of US foreign policy going back quite some time, but don't look at the world in a binary manner.
Who invaded who? Russia invaded Ukraine. That is as simple as it gets.
