Do you want to discount Israel's invasion of Palestine because it has been going on for longer than 40 years?
> should be able to remember China invading other places historically
Can you help me out by clarifying the time and the country they invaded? I remember China being constantly invaded by others, hence the building of the Great Wall of China. They also had a navy at some point exploring the world, but then stopped and never really colonized any place as far as I know. Of course, I don't remember the entire history of China by heart, so which place did they invade and when?

The original comment was about "not wanting to contribute to the aggressor in a terrible war", which necessarily will bring up Israel, who the USA is generously spending billions of dollars on year by year.
How many billions of dollars has the USA given to Russia since starting the war?
Deaths in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: ~600,000 Total deaths in Israel-Palestine conflict since 1948: ~200,000. So Ukraine is definitely bloodier.
The area occupied by Russia in Ukraine is 20x the size of Gaza + the West Bank, and is 5 times the size of Israel itself.
Russia is 775x the size of Israel, so unlike Israel-Palestine fighting over a small piece of territory to live on, Russia’s war is far more pointless.
