Comment on How come the US does not put a bounty on Putin like they did Bin Laden?

  Which seems hypocritical since the US never attacked those neutral countries directly.

  Which neutral countries are you talking about? Because USA has created enemies in neutral and “neutral” places and directly attacked other countries without provocation, like Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan, yet nobody put a bounty on Bush or Obama’s heads, but rightfully complained about 'merican overreach.

  By their logic they should mind their own business.

  You know how neighbors will complain about one another, but overall try to keep things civil and not invade the other’s home to “fix” things? That’s more or less how diplomacy is supposed to work. USA is that bully neighbor that decides to ram your door and invade your home, guns blazing. Russia did the same with Ukraine and they keep calling out the hypocrisy when 'murica complains.

  But even NATO doesn’t like it if some nation goes above and beyond, provoking hostilities from the US means potential unwanted conflict from others, and the nations supplying oil and / or weapons to Russia feel the same way. The world is a big shitty political stage where every time an actor moves people die
