It is only understandable when Eastern Europeans view USA as a threat when Russian nazis march and chant: Crimea is not enough, all hohols (insulting name for Ukrainians) must bcome a part of Russia, Donetsk - Russian city, Kiev -Russian city, Minsk, Tallin, Riga, Warsaw, ... - Russian city. Our planes (Migs) will land in Riga, our tanks will enter Prague.
As broad and wide Russian anti "extremist" laws are, this is not just Russian nazis' opinion.
Serbia is a mini imperialist balkan nation fond of Russia whose pride and ambition suffered quite a bit in the past 25 years. Serbs project their longings upon Russia "restoring" its rightful place in the world by aggressive means. Serbs wish they could do the same but it's rather a small nation without A bomb, so they just cheer for Russia. Hungary has some beef with Ukraine, tracing its origin to the days of much larger Hungary, so it goes by the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or at least somebody to cheer for. They believe that NATO would protect them, but in a case Russia would tear apart Ukraine, they might make a deal to gain some real estate. Those are unspoken factors, but the line is well defined failed EE imperial nations root (silently) for Putin, and not because they are afraid of USA.

As far as i know the USA hasn't invaded Yemen nor Syria and Iraq (2014, i mean). In fact, these countries are in the midst of a civil war where foreign countries have intervened indirectly (exception being Saudi Arabia in Yemen who effectively seems to have sent troops despite them denying it).

Propaganda, Germany was one of the most vocal countries at first over Greek debt and now Greek medias and particularly the State owned ones are probably targetting Germany

They fired rocket (missiles) attacks.

You can't talk about invasion until there aren't troops involved. Going by your logic, the whole of NATO, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran are all invading Syria

The main difference that Russian forces were invited by legitimate government.
If some country will drop some bombs at the territory of my country. I would call it invasion.
invade these countries again by buying real estates, emigrating to these countries
I doubt that these high-middle-class Russians who do this possess any danger to the country. They bring profit for its economy.
A year ago I read somewhere about Russian businessman who invested in the reconstruction of a spa in Latvia. What's wrong with it?.
