What else would you expect from Canadian public broadcasting? Another load of BS just like we see from our own PBS.
The US & NATO showed strength by doubling the number of countries right up to Russia’s doorstep over 20 years. And placing missiles in border countries to Russia. Putin clearly warned the West that the west aggression against Russia would not end well. Looks like he was right. Ask Zelensky how that worked out!
It’s still in process. It hasn’t “worked out”. I maintain that the process is being prolonged needlessly. But NATO doubling member countries in the East was a no-brainer. Russia would come back, as it has, and then it would have been able to invade its former satellites with impunity but for NATO membership. Ukraine is being tortured by the West for nefarious purposes. The torture consists of giving it enough weapons to continue to avoid being killed by a rabid bear, but the bear keeps coming because of high energy prices, which the west keeps exacerbating.
Antiaircraft missiles aren’t a threat to you unless you plan on bombing people where they are located.
That’s not aggression. The missiles are air defense missiles, a detail you omitted.
You cannot threaten another country with an air defense missile unless that country is attacking you by air.
The only aggression is on the part of that attacker with the bombers and attack planes, who of course saw his victim’s air defense missiles as an impediment to his intended attacks. He knows very well he is the aggressor.
Putin objected to air defense systems for Ukraine for the same reason that thieves object to Florida Castle laws and for the same reason the far left in the US tries to bury the 2nd amendment. Self defense is an obstruction to criminal behavior.
