If we had kept promise not to expand NATO eastward and hadn't expanded it to Russia's borders while fomenting illegal coups and building up proxy NATO armies, the Russians wouldn't be making these warnings.

The biggest threats to world peace the West's neocons, globalists and warmongers, all of which make money by starting wars and rumors of war.

Yep. As I noted earlier (post #27), everyone involved in this Ukraine/Russia conflict has been reckless. I believe you have correctly identified the reckless behavior on the part of the West.

Was an expanding NATO an actual threat to Russia? It doesn’t matter! What matters is that Russia perceived it as a threat.

The other side of the coin is that Putin was reckless by starting a shooting war. There really are no good guys here.

After that, the strikes go east to large areas like Kazan...

About as clearly stated as it gets.
