To be fair, the regimes that were toppled in Iraq and Afghanistan (albeit temporarily, ultimately) were an absolute horror show of atrocities, such that at least in those cases there was some justification for being there in the first place, and in at least the case of Afghanistan you had a broad coalition involved in response to a direct attack on the USA... You can't say the same types of things about the Ukrarine at all. There was no provocation and there's no justification whatsoever for attacking it. I don't think they're really comparable military actions.
