Wouldn’t be any attacks at all, if USA stayed in it’s own borders and had respected the borders of Ukraine, hadn't arranged any coups in Ukraine, or supported neo-nazi nationalist groups there and didn't push it into NATO

Have you not read Putin's address of February 21? He makes it clear that he considers Ukraine as rightly part of Russia. He attacked, not because of western provocation, but because he thought he could get away with it.

BTW, Russia's definition of a "Nazi" is any Ukrainian who promotes a national identity separate from that of Russia.

"He makes it clear that he considers Ukraine as rightly part of Russia."

It is. They've had 31 years to prove they could manage their own affairs to be an independent country for the first time. They summarily failed. A corrupt state run by puppets of Soros & Co that is a nexus of child sex trafficking and other evils, and then having the gall to install "labs" to create another version of the China Flu and bringing in NATO, too. Epic level fail.
