What American expansionism are you referring to? It’s been a long time since the US gained more territories.

In Puttin's point of view, any new NATO member is yet another US territory to deploy weapons from.

Putin is a paranoid tyrant who should be put down like a rabid wolf. Nobody should care what Putin thinks or wants. After he's gone let's see what shakes out.

Exactly this. NATO literally ignored Putin. We unfortunately found that the events a while ago were the straw that broke the camel's back. Putin is now angry, and ignoring what he thinks or wants turned out to be stupid.

> or wants.

I don't think not caring about the Ukraine situation is the right call either.
