    Well, now you are oversimplifying world politics to one man’s deeds. As if Nato expansionism did not play any role in the creation of this conflict. Read a little history before 2023 and you’ll see acquiring Ukraine is been a race between Nato and Russia since at least 2014.

      Russia had already invaded in 2014, and successfully got a puppet as president in 2010.

      NATO doesn’t expand by conquest, countries choose freely to join and other countries (especially hostile ones) don’t get to dictate the alliances of their neighbours.

        Yeah, Nato is such a saint entity who ‘freely’ bombs Yugoslavia and Libya.

        Nato’s whole purpose is to deter Russia and will not stop until whole east Europe is pointing missiles at it. Do you believe that’s a ‘random freely admittance’ policy?

          Yes the whole point of a DEFENSIVE alliance is to defend against a known aggressor, thank you for clarifying
