Fine, I stand corrected: I forgot about Czechoslovakia (I don't think you're right about Korea though).
In any case that still leaves Russia aggression on par with US aggression. My point in this thread is that I don't see the reason to prefer the US and "the West" to Russia. Or China. I would certainly not want to be a citizen of any of those three.

Fine. Don't take my word for it. Go look.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War:
"The Korean War was fought between North Korea and South Korea; it began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea and ceased after an armistice on 27 July 1953. North Korea was supported by the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by the United Nations Command (UNC) led by the US."
Afghanistan? You seem to forget that Russia also invaded them.
You also seem to forget Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Georgia, and Ukraine.
So, no, the wars started by "the West" are not significantly more than the wars started by Russia or the USSR.
