The Biden/Obama administration and Europe both have their responsibility in alienating Russia. The current administration simply wants to wash its hand off of it as if their was no continuity between Trump America and Democratic America. Now the US words are meaningless.

Words and talk are always cheap.

But you seem to regard "Was Alienated by Somebody" status as license to ignore treaties and start wars. Might that same standard apply, when you don't happen to favor the aggressor over the victim?

Biden/Obama and Europe are responsible for Putin invading Ukraine?
Yes, if you are willing to believe Jeffery Sachs, John Mershiemer (sp?), and a large number of people.. They believe Russia was provoked into the war.
They are a tiny fringe minority that gets humiliated whenever they try to debate actual experts. Here's Mearsheimer getting smacked down in front of a live audience by the Polish foreign minister: https://youtu.be/ivcSVG5eCeQ?t=2100
