re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

There are no LEGITIMATE reasons short of being overtly threatened.

So every war we've been in since WW2 wasn't justified on our part?

Russia invaded in 2014 because their stooge got the boot and they saw a chance for a major land grab. They were never threatened.

You wouldn't see losing a pro-US Mexican government to a pro-Russia one as a threat? Not to our existence necessarily, but to our interests it absolutely would be.

I just think its a little tone deaf as an American since our policy has been that no other power should interfere in our entire HEMISPHERE at all, but you can't even just kind of a tincy-weency bit understand why Russia wouldn't want a NATO country at its border?

And understanding doesn't equal absolving of blame, or that they shouldn't face consequences, and it certainly isn't blaming Ukraine.
