These countries were brutal dictatorships and/or theocracies. Saddam and Assad used poison gas against their own people, bombed strongholds of their politcal opposition into the ground and massively stiffled democracy, pluraility and freedom of speech even during peacetime. In Syria, a civil war along confessional lines had already broken out before the U.S. got seriously involved. Afghanistan hosted Al-Qaida and the man who masterminded 9/11. (And Iran had the audacity of sitting on *our* oil...)
All bunch of bullshit under various justifications, including the hypocritical crusade for democracy in the Middle Each in which Saudi Arabia and apartheid Israel are the biggest allies and partners.
Man up and say US can do whatever it wants to maintain world domination, just because they can... It is a much more respectable argument than this stuff

Ukraine is guilty of ZERO of these things. Much of the U.S. military action your meme mentions was wrong or misguided, yet all of these missions had a stronger justification than Russia's current war against Ukraine.
Not in my book. Ukraine for Russia is far more justifiable because, if we use common sense and a little sympathy to draw a line between defense and offense, it is defense.
