This conflict goes back much further than last month and NATO expansion is absolutely a key cause of this war. Being sarcastic about it doesn’t change that.
The NATO is a defense agreement. Of course, Russia won’t be a fan of everyone else forming an alliance, but they wouldn’t need to care either, if they don’t plan to invade anyone.
And their immediate neighbors certainly wouldn’t either be joining a defense agreement with foreign forces rather than with Russia, if they felt like they could trust Russia, let alone need defense against Russia.
I responded to this in another comment but simply put: NATO isn’t a defensive alliance and it never was. That’s a paper-thin lie that isn’t supported by their history whatsoever. If NATO were to expand to Ukraine, they would threaten Russia militarily, if not outright coup them.
You always make it sound as if NATO was invading countries and violently expanding without anyone’s consent, and Russia was the hero trying to prevent NATO from dominating the world and killing everyone for no reason because they like it so much apparently.
No, countries join the NATO voluntarily. Ukraine is doing it willingly, because they want militar defense from other member countries, and they have the absolute right to do so. Russia didn’t respect that (never has), so Ukraine did what they were supposed to do: defend themselves and protect their sovereignty.
Russia is now using de-nazification as an excuse (of course the literal president isn’t a jew /s), trying to play the hero; but we all know Russia’s sole dictator is out of his mind: he went too far and the whole world is trying to stop him. The world is doing what’s right, Russia is the one who loves war, Russia started this whole thing.
