Russia is being Russia. They have a long history of aggression and paranoia.
Some things ‘the west’ did may have pissed them off, but that was not an excuse to invade a country. They need to learn how to deal with the world the way Trump did. There are many forms of power besides military. Ukraine was not their business, cesspool or not.
You have a healthy skepticism for all the western govts and (so called) leaders today. Thats ok. But Russia is no innocent victim here. They have created a worse situation for everyone.
It's not completely unfounded.
Never said they were a victim. Both sides have lots of blame. I’ve said from the start that we need to stay out.
