You have said that every country wants power and money and it can be done by evading other countries. I'm sure that you were subconsciously meant your own country which acts on the principle of ''all measures are good''.
USA not just evading other countries but breaking in pieces international law, making coups all over the world and even supporting terrorists to replace undesirable politicians with own puppets. The symbol of foreign American policy = the results in Near and the Middle East = total chaos, bloodbath, over million deaths and everything is continuing. USA is joyfully looking at all this mess from across the ocean while Europe facing terror attacks and have to accept a huge waves of refugees.
In your media a lot of talks about all-powerful Russian hackers. While not Russia but USA listening own and foreign people, diplomats and statesmen. All over the world. From all possible ways. Last news: as it turned out, the US Consulate in the Germany on fact is hacker center. You are here, you are there, you are everywhere....
After all of this... you as the representative of the USA even dare to compare your country with Russia? It's ridiculous. From the start, look in the mirror.

About the Russian ''invasion''.
The fall of the USSR led to the breakup of the strong vertical power-hand that was controlling the country. This vacuum was filled with the list of the ethnic conflicts.
One of them was happening on the Georgian-Russian boarders. Russian military was there to stop the conflict on the basis of agreements with Georgian goverment. Because the frozen conflict is always better than a real conflict. So, where is invasion, where is the break of international law, what benefits Russia got from sending there peacekeepers in sense of your ''power and money hungry'' wolrdview?
But when the president of Georgia became an American puppet he started to ''restore constitutional order'' in the august of 2008. Yes, without saying anything he just started full-scale military actions and all ''civilized'' Western media supported him, because he was ''the victim of the Russian agression''.
illegal migrants maybe were your parents who invaded North America and colonised it exterminating the local population? What's about importing slaves from Africa? No?
Russia did not enslave the people that were the part of our county by their race or nathionality. The only countries that were forced to join Soviet Union were Baltic States as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. But later, the Congress of Soviet Union condemned this pact and considers it legally untenable.
And what is your point? You wanted to explain the conflict with Georgia because of ''illigal migration'' of Russians all over USSR? This is absolutely stupid statement. First of all, since when Ossetians and Georgians are Russians? Secondly, since when the movement of the people within the one country is called ''illigal migration'' but not as a normal, natural process? (maybe you confused with the colonies for which Anglo-Saxons are known, I dunno).
As a result, in some past USSR countries there are some % of Russians as well as in Russia a lot of people from past Soviet countries.
USSR is gone but even today this process is continuing due to one history, strong cultural, family and political ties. But the peculiarity of this migration is that people move more to Russia than Russians move there. That is why Russia today is a second country in the world by migrats.
For you USSR is a devil because you grown on anti-Russian propaganda, which was 40 years ago, which is continuing right now and which will continue in the future. But I am here to show you not my opinion but the facts.
