Just because the US "demonizes" some countries, as you put it, does not mean that there are no legitimate reasons for opposing the influence of those countries. That is not hatred, that is realism.
Ignoring the bad actors in the world and letting them have their way will not make the world a better place, no matter how much those bad actors think they have "a right" to "be respected" or whatever line they're peddling this time. Yes, that includes both the current Russian and US administrations.
I'm done with this conversation, I have better things to do with the rest of my Sunday.
Russia only asks of Ukraine not to join NATO, and host US missile bases, and to stop being hateful. If US supported French supremacists in Switzerland to exterminate their German population then point missiles at Germany, should Germany do anything? Object at all? All US allies siding with the US on such diminishment would declare "Germany the bad actor". Resentment against "Former German regimes" would have nothing related to current hatred/propaganda against Germany. The world of US sycophancy means nothing is real anymore.
A Canadian toddler should understand that a country that has never threatened us makes a better friend/no longer enemy status than a current enemy that has them as enemy status.
