NATO pushing of Ukraine membership is what's causing the unrest.
Hmmm, I seem to remember NATO actually rejecting Ukraine's request.
"During NATO's 2008 summit in Bucharest, Romania, the issue was discussed and, after opposition from France and Germany, a decision was made to offer neither Ukraine nor Georgia a NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) — essentially a path for Ukraine to receive membership — at that moment. Vague promises of NATO membership in the future were made, but the United States later appeared to drop its support for NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia. "

That was 14 years ago lol.
And the US needed Russia not to make much fuss over our foreign wars that we were waging around the globe and our withdrawal from the ABM Treaty so we could pursue missile defense.
The dynamics that drive these events have changed and the situation then has almost no bearing on the situation today.
