It makes it hypocritical. Which in the standard of actual wars following WW2 isn't any more important than the hypocrisy. But this is an entirely different scenario. This is the top 2 global super powers playing chicken with one side having legitimate security issues and the other side not only being a hypocrite but also being responsible for those very security issues. Out of the parties involved, only Russia has any justification whatsoever. And as I live in the side being hypocrites and people all around me seem to want to start WW3 and end all of humanity over some patch of land noone cares about, I will call out that hypocrisy. For the sake of all life on Earth for the next billion years, NATO must lose.
US perspective:
US is simply trying to further their sphere of influence, and realign in a way pre-emptively for the new order that is unfolding. Hamsterbaby argues that they should've pulled Russia into their sphere same as Kissinger was saying.
That would've been risky, in my view, a united Europe with Russia as a bridge between Asia/Eu, is the most dangerous situation US could find itself in. Weakening, and dividing Europe by turning it into 2 spheres each controlled by US/China is a far more safe bet in my book. Personally I understand why the US did what they did.
The problem with people here is, they will disregard what i said (above), and say "Russia Nazi invade da hohols for their superior genetic women", or some other crazy nonsense. Or start a discussion of how "wrong" the invasion was. LOL.

Odd take. Does Ukraine have a right to defend themselves and pursue their inherent interests or should they just lay down and have Russia have it’s way? Is it the same for all future invasions by any country where any sign of defense is seen as "trying to start WW3"?
Look, always such low-level takes. Keep out of politics, and go read romantic novels you Hollywood mind broken monkey.
