Is being against foreign invasion/occupation an agenda?

Yes. Any response has an agenda. Make your fight righteous while calling the enemy evil.

Responding to a foreign invading threat is not an agenda. And it's absurd to imply so.

Geopolitics doesn’t happen in a vacuum. There were agendas before the war that led to the war. To believe differently is naive and absurd. This goes back to the fall of the Soviet Union for Russia. Russia was installing a puppet government with Yanukovych. NATO couldn’t allow that because it threatened capitalist hegemony in Europe. There will be agendas after the war. Ukraine deserves sovereignty from Russia and NATO. There’s a reason 40 countries want to join the BRICS trade alliance. The world is tired of America and NATO extracting their wealth.

Exactly. The world is not binary. This good, that bad. Geopolitics is complicated. We need to stop treating it as a sport.
