Whereas you are right on all of these points, and Russia has a right to defend itself, but Putin does not have the right to invade and destroy neighbors. Putin's invasion supports the military industrial complexes many times. over. The only way to make sure that Western abuses do not continue is impose tougher sanctions on the BRICs, thereby reducing the motivation for war, in favor of trade and the lifting of sanctions. Russia was not and is not threatened by Ukraine. Russia is run by a gas station mafia. Most Russians don't want the war with Ukraine. I am not sure your response is a definitive 'no', but I will list it as such.

Ukraine could be used as a proxy by the west NATO/EU againt Russia, its like Russia basically sitting next to a ticking time bomb. I fully understand why Russia made a preemptive strike against a future potential EU/NATO ally. It's just unfortunate only the little people pay the real price.

Yes - though what will result from the invasion will not justify the invasion. There was no serious consideration of Ukraine entering the EU and/or NATO, because of agreements in the 1990s.

I agree with that of course, there's a grey area when it comes to the justification for war be it power for country or self interests. It's obvious Vladimir Putin sees something we all don't, chess peices are being moved now etc, the whole "invasion" seems very reactionary to me.

That's the vibe I get.
