Texas was part of Mexico.
The US annexation was very similar to the Russian annexation of the Donbas, with similar BS fifth columnists.
Guam and Okinawa, the Sandwich Islands.
Puerto Rico.
A few attempts at annexing Canada.

I guess the difference is that (to my knowledge) all of those were pre-WW2. It's now 2022 and it seems shocking to have pre-war levels of impirialist expansion.
It is the total shake up and disregard for the post-war World order that is so shocking and different.
Obviously there is a Northern hemisphere privileged to that, as almost all of our post-war conflicts have been proxy ones.
However, I would say that it is a stretch to claim that the only reason for the US vilifying Russia/Putin is a distraction. If it is, then why are countries that normally stay out of these things condemning it in such force in way not done with other conflicts?
