From one Russian to another, не валяй дурака. There was no precedent of NATO anything. NATO didn't attack or threaten your land. Ukraine never attacked Russia. Russia did with Donbas and then Crimea.

Your post embodies the propaganda that Russians in Russia swallowed, hook, bait, and even the lasso.

Yeah, a lot of his arguments don't really make sense if you break it down. The logic is similar to what Chinese people from China think on political issues.

It's always some shadowy government coming for them and they must defend themselves and rid of them (i.e. attack). When in doubt, blame the West.

It's crazy how ingrained it is for nationalists from current and former communist countries.
