    Lol, precognitive abilities. That’s what you need to maintain your cognitive dissonance? The US has been pushing NATO expansion to Russia’s border since 1992. It doesn’t take a genius to see a pattern that unfolds and repeats over 3 decades.

    Your entire narrative relies on Russia just suddenly being an aggressive so that you can attribute the root cause to its internal evil. The reality is that Russia has been talking about this for 30 years and has been very consistent with how it communicated its national security needs. Each aggression you have seen from Russia is part of Russia attempting to respond to US/NATO expansion.

    Remember that Russia was invaded twice across the Ukraine border: first by France under Napoleon and then by Germany under the Third Reich. This time, NATO is a transnational nuclear military with no democratic accountability and instead of fighting across Europe it is negotiating across Europe but the strategic positioning is still the same: a massive nuclear military is marching across Europe, aimed at Russia, staffed and developed under Nazi leadership (literally, look it up), and attempting to put a readiness presence at the indefensible border. Russia amassed troops at the border because of history, not because of fantasy precog nor fantasy evil.
