You are very optimistic if you think colonisation of India ended when Brits folded their flags there in 1947. Even China had to overcome legacy of colonialism and further attempts to recolonise it for decades (in fact they still do need to actively defend themselves) after 1949.
Russia is protecting it’s sovereignty when it e.g. puts Navalny behind bars. But it was simply protecting it’s security interests when it invaded Ukraine. Ukraine did not colonise Russia, this is not a war of national liberation. This invasion is not anti-imperialist, and it wasn’t necessary - Russia absolutely had enough power in Ukraine to meddle and pull strings, hell do some assassinations, sanctions, etc.
This war has accelerated the European descent into fascism, it made Europe dependent on the US energy, it triggered European countries to join NATO and to raise their defense budgets by billions. This is exactly what the US wanted, and Trump will likely push NATO countries to increase their defense budgets even further.
(Edit) If Russia starts an all out war with Georgia I won’t support that either.

Koreans and Vietnamese in shambles now. Vietnamese even twice.

There already was war in Georgia, in kinda similar circumstances like in Ukraine - US meddling, proxification, Georgian army attempting to ethnically cleanse Ossetians. Georgians just had more brains and less nazism and backed off when things turned contrary to their US masters promises and Russian army moved on them.
Yes, though if anything, Russia have way more reasons than “just” the genocide of Russians and Russian speaking Ukrainians. I also want to note how USA have a long traditions of using proxies to destabilise countries and plunge them into wars, no matter who starts and for which reasons. Bonus points for first dividing them, but what else was done to USSR in 1991, remember that massive majority of Ukrainians voted against dissolution of USSR and independence of Ukraine.
I’m sorry but that passage from Foundations doesn’t apply to every war you support. Vietnam was not waging a war of national liberation against Cambodian colonisers and it had nothing to do with Vietnamese self determination. I don’t understand anymore why you say the things you’re saying so I think I’ll leave it here.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore, are you equating Vietnam liberating Cambodia from Pol Pot with Russia invading Ukraine?
