You make a fair point. It’s not Russophobia to criticize Russia for starting a bloody shooting war.
On the other hand, it’s not NATO-phobia (if there is such a term) to criticize NATO for taking actions Russia saw as provocative.
There are no clean hands here. I think Trump 2.0 could sort this all out. I doubt that anyone else can.
