What aggression from NATO towards Russia?=

Expanding to a Russian border. Including historical Russian lands taken from Russia by commies. It is a aggressive moves.

Russia many time warned that her patience isn’t unlimited and it will bring a war. So happened.

1. Poland and Romania and the Baltics etc. requested to join NATO. They wanted and want yo be part of an alliance to protect themselves from Russia. They were correct as Russia invades non NATO neighbours.

2. Russia bordered a NATO country right from 1999.

3. Ukraine was not going to be accepted to NATO. The last time it applied in 2008, France and Germany rejected its application for fear of “provoking Russia”. The same would happen again if Putin hadn’t invaded.

4. “Historical Russian lands”?
4.1 Both Russia and Ukraine and Belarus descend from Kyivan Rus. They have overlapping lands in which their ancestors lived
4.2 historically, Crimea was occupied longest by Greeks or Tatars. Not Russia.
4.3 Russia occupies historically Finnish land in Karelia, Chinese land in east manchuria, German land in Konigsberg. Are you advocating they return that?
