How is Russia a bully ? They did everything possible to try and resolve the situation in the eastern Ukraine diplomatically following the coup but their efforts were consistently rebuffed. Are you even aware of the history of the conflict prior to the start of the Russian SMO ? This war started in 2014
It's the other way around though, isn't it? When you ask them why the US is in this or that country, they either defend it or tepidly claim to oppose it. Yet I've never seen liberals call americans orcs or call for nuking it for what they did to Iraq, Afghanistan or many others they don't even know about. So it can't be "Russia bad cause invaded" since they don't apply that to worse invaders and were calling for the destruction of Russia before the invasion.
yeah, how dare china mediate a conflict instead of blindly throwing expensive weapons at ukraine no matter what they're being used for and who they're being used by.

Average liberal understanding of the war is limited to "Russia invades because they are evil, therefore Russia bad."

In 2014, Ukraine pretty much started this whole mess. There's a common misconception that everything began with Russia's involvement.
Incredible projection.
