We responded to a request from south Korea to fight off North Korea. Also, looking at how history played out for those two countries, looks like Russia picked the wrong allies
The Yugoslavian war was a NATO operation, so its hardly just a US war. You might as well say that WWI and WWII was solely because of the US.
Also, while the US isn't the best country, its a hell of a lot better than Russia to live in. You don't have to even read US propaganda to know that. You can read any of the hundreds of independent quality of life surveys to find that out.

This... the only reason Russia has been even somewhat "peaceful" is because they have been broke since the 90's and 90% of their military has been mothballed until recently and what do you know? Soon as they start dusting off the military hardware they invade Ukraine..
