> as if that wasnt a factor (by proxy via NATO) initiating Russian aggression.

This is basically the "she wore a short dress" defense...

The only country that initiated Russian aggression is Russia.

I'm not sure why you characterize the assertion as a "defense". It's a reason.

People do things for reasons. Everyone makes choices based on how they perceive the world and predict the future from there. To flatly ignore circumstance is not constructive.

It's a shit reason.

Just like wearing a short dress is a "reason" rapists claim to rape.

Russia is raping and killing for reasons. But those reasons are shit and Ukraine doesn't deserve what's happening to them.
