I don't know what you're talking about.

1) NATO never attacked Russia. Russia is constantly testing war-responses ( flyovers/bypasses, internet cables, army ships, ...). That's also the reason why Sweden ( not NATO) has re-introduced military duty for adults.

2) Ukraine never attacked Russia. They defended their property when Russia invaded with gray zone terrorist. They did close off the water supply.

3) You are being diluted. In Crimea their was a huge amount of natural gas found and that is why Russia invaded. Guess what the first place was that they occupied...

In return, Ukraine cut off water supply to their occupied parts and the ground got dry. Current habitants of Crimea say it became a military state and are not happy about it, in contrary to the first years of occupation ( when the bridge between Russia and Crimea wasn't finished yet, Russians promised a lot about how it would improve. It didn't).

4) Zelensky being a puppet or stupid is pure Russian propaganda since Russia lost their governement because of Ukraine pro-democracy protests. Yes, he improved relations with the West, since there was a danger from Russia. This danger became reality now.

Russia never thaught that the family bounds would have been broken off this quickly.

Zelensky is everything Putin wants to be, a leader without the need of obvious propaganda.

While Putin is too scared of COVID ( not even a joke).

Tbh. Zelensky his actions are everything what one could ever want in a leader. I'm quite impressed how he is handing this horror.

5) You are not blaming Russia, you are trying to find an excuse to put it on NATO/ Ukraine.

Here are the facts, outside of the false whataboutism:

- NATO didn't invade Russia

- Ukraine didn't invade Russia

- Ukraine didn't suddenly create nuclear weapons because of NATO

- NATO didn't threaten with nukes

- Ukraine didn't threaten with nukes

- Ukraine is defending themselves from an invasion/war

But:

- Putin invaded Crimea - 'gray zone warfare'

- Putin invaded Ukraine - 'special military op'

- Belarus now has nuclear weapons because of Russia

- Russia and Belarus threaten with nukes

- Russia started the war

---

The end result already has changed a lot of Russian narrative and had the opposite intended effect:

- Russian army is a joke, the advanced tech was mostly sold to get money and they barely have modern equipment for themselves. Quantity doesn't replace quality.

- the propaganda because they could move equipment because of trains, actually seems to be their biggest limitation.

- instead of reliable using their propaganda machine build over the decades, it has been cut off almost immediately

- everyone by now knows how scared Putin is of COVID, even while vaccines exist. They called dibs to soon. Putin his image of tough guy is scattered.

- they united Europe instead of dividing it

- more countries want to join NATO. Russia even did some flyovers with Finland, speeding up the process

- they trained Ukrainians instead of weakening them since 2014

- the cyber talent in Russia ( supposed to be up notch) had been hacked multiple times by anonymous. We should be grateful that they pentested our systems with limited side-effects for free. Their advanced malware was stopped thanks to Microsoft within 3 hours. I think that's a record.

- they are becoming totally dependent on China, instead of acting like a world player.

- they are hastening the process in Europe to become less dependent on gas. While Europe actually bought more from Russia in the past.

But yeah, we'll pay higher prices for gas, oil and weat. It will be an expensive operation/consequence.

But those that substained from voting against Russia will pay more too.

I can live with that. The will has never been greater.
