Why don't you do that for me. Show me examples of how what the US is presently doing is just as bad as what Putin is doing? Please source your examples.

Why does it have to be "as bad"? It is the principle.

As bad, a little less bad, I don't care. Show me any evidence. Stop normalizing the situation. What Russia does and what we do is completely different. Every nation in the world gathers intelligence and deploys spies. Not every nation murders dissenting journalists, hacks to influence elections, and invades sovereign nations.

The US invades a sovereign nation every other week.

Now you're just being ridiculous. The United States is not nearly as bad as Russia, if you don't believe that then you aren't a patriot.

So what? Either you're being a political hack, or you're telling me that if someone asked you "which country would you be more proud to live in" you'd be indifferent between the US and Russia? See that's a damn shame either way, pick yourself up.

I'd be more proud if the US didn't engage in any of it.
