A good point of contrast is the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. The media never had this type of lockstep "and remember to emphasize it's a really bad invasion" coverage.
The Iraq invasion comparison is what gets me. USA has committed something like three times more military to Iraq than Russia did to Ukraine. And that's not counting various private contractors. But I guess that wasn't a "full scale invasion"?
The unprovoked full-scale imperialist invasion of a sovereign state.
People are fed these words that they don't understand the definitions of so that they can try to seem smart. I make a point of asking them what they mean by "sovereign" or "imperialist" etc. They get all sweaty when you do that.
