Ukraine was never a “former imperial possession”. The current iteration of Ukraine was created by the USSR.
Also imperialism is not when invading.
As for the other things:
Georgia: Fired on russian peacekeeping forces in South-Ossetia, thus started a war (this is supported by a UN investigation). Georgia started it, Russia ended it. Completely fine under international law. One of the legal cases of legal war is one in self defense.
Syria: The then government asked for military help. Russia provided help. Completely fine under international law. The other legal case for war is to aid in the defense of another nation when asked to do so.
Nigeria: What happened there?
The only thing that “could” be labeled russian war of aggression is the SMO, but per liberal logic it is not. Russia cited “responsibility to protect” as the reason, which for libs was completely fine when the west did it in Serbia. Russia stated that this would give a bad precedent case regarding the justification of wars.
As communist I don’t really give a shit if a war is waged as aggressor or defensive. The outcome is relevant.
