 Of course not. Especially because this all isn't for resources or survival, just pointless bloodbath for nothing, a whim of wealthy and powerful people who want even more wealth and power. 
 when US was fighting for independence with British empire it also was pointless bloodbath? 
 Looks like whataboutism to me. You could also remember how Bohdan Khmelnytsky was fighting for independence from Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and dependence on Russian Empire or some other shit. All these wars are different. 
 Funnily enough, the US’ independence came with the help of the Russians 😂
