Julian Zelizer : Critics of U.S. support for Ukraine say it's a proxy war between Russia and America .
He says the nature of American dominance is fundamentally different than that of Russia 's.
Zelizer says Russia 's loss of empire after World War I , after 1991 , as catastrophes after World I and 1991 , is a disaster.
Opponents of U.S. aid to Ukraine may posit a theoretical symmetry between Russian and American involvement. But the reality is different. Quite apart from the fact that it is Russia , not America , that has invaded Ukraine , there is no equivalence between Russian and American influence. Americans seek to atone for the sins of empire; Russians celebrate them. Ukrainians know the difference..
