Oops, you forgot to mention the Ukrainian people. What about them not wanting to be like Russia with state-controlled media, secret police everywhere, dissenters disappearing, same autocratic leader for 20 years? Is that NATO’s fault too? Russia was doing just fine and this war was not in defense whatsoever. It’s a war of conquest and it proved exactly what NATO was kept for was 100% legit. Now fool Putin has ruined two countries (one, his own) and expanded NATO. It’s pretty obvious Putin is threatened by Democracy itself and is doing his best to mess with it wherever he can.
