> If NATO wasn't as expansive, Russia probably wouldn't have invaded. J

The only thing keeping Russia in check in eastern Europe in anyway, shape or form is NATO.

NATO expansion stops Russian aggression not the other way around, but I know the forever belied Russia must always be a victim of some nefarious plot from the entire world.

The only way to stop Russias numerous wars in Eastern Europe and there dangerous escalation is to have them dealt a decisive defeat in Ukraine.

Ukraine was clearly in the sphere of influence of Russia. Why was the US flirting with it ? Do you see Russia openly courting Mexico ? No.

Im neither American or paid to be here, I just don't like imperialist wars of conquest regardless of who starts them.

If by that you mean previously forcibly occupied by the USSR and therefore Russia sure.

Russia is free to court whomever they want, no one would really care, things have changed in the past 50-60 years seemingly everywhere but Russia,
