Sometimes right and wrong really is this clear: When you invade a country, start a war without first being attacked yourself, murder and displace thousands of civilians, you are an A$$hole of the highest order. Reaction by others who don't appreciate you starting wars is to be expected.

Do you think the U.S.would be justified in invading Russia to end this war?



No. So what?

We would be perfectly well justified in any action up to and including removal of Russians by force if invited to do so by Ukraine. Defense of others is a perfectly straightforward moral concept. Not that I think we _should_. That is entirely separate.

"We don't do business with people who invade and murder others" surely seems reasonable to me. "We will sell you weapons to help you defend yourself if attacked without justification" also seems obviously reasonable.
