Idk seems appropriate considering the US doesn't seem to consent to other countries' sovereignty, after all it was built on genocide so why should it follow the same rules?
"Fuck Nazi Germany for doing ethnic cleansing, and fuck Russia for actually invading and bombing the shit out of it" - liberals who can't define imperialism
Russia literally intends to annex (as in, turn into own territory) 4 Ukranian oblasts, banning ukranian language there, turning over capital to its own oligarchs (or their cronies), all via a means of war. I would like to remind you that Russia is an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy, with overt ambitions of turning itself into an empire. This definitely fits at least multiple definitions of imperialism.
I despise the shit that Ukraine did to its eastern regions for many years. What Russia is doing now is worse on multiple accounts (human suffering, death count, material damage), though.
How?
Like, you are literally suggesting that the rest of the world should just roll over for NATO.
Sure the status quo is violence, but resisting the hegemony is also violent. Do you really want to be as bad as NATO?
