Russia and Ukraine

[Anomalocaris]

is there any other way to classify “pot calling kettle black”?

Yes there is 

But having more self-awareness than self-righteousness is a very valuable and honorable trait which have been in staggeringly short supply amongst the shrill histrionic critics of the Russian invasion.

Shrill critics = People who oppose power-mad autocrats and are sane. The latter sorely lacking from Russian bootlickers 

words have meanings.

Autocrat, perhaps, somewhat marginal, more like strong authoritarian,

But wanting to make sure existing and existentially important purgatives of a nation is not taken away by adversaries who unilaterally abrogated multiple agreements in the effort to take that away is certainly not a signal attribute of “power mad”.

unilaterally abrogating multiple treaty agreements in a sustained pursuit of taking away some other country’s existential parogative, is.

The Wolfowitz doctrine, using 9/11 as a excuse for trying to overthrow regimes we don’t like but unrelated to 9/11, invasion of Iraq, expanding NATO to russia’s door step, the unilateral abrogation of multiple arms control agreement with russia, those are signal signs of “power mad”,   pushing NATO back away from russia’s door steps is not exactly “power mad”
