After 2008 and Euromaidan, where were the negotiations? I think the question should be why NATO is pressing on despite all warnings.
And yes like I said above, the costs are enormous, and counting. The costs for the EU alone is likely running in the trillions when you add it all up, inflation, last year's energy crisis, Ukrainian refugees, and so on.
what "NATO did" is a matter of speculation, what Russia has done is a matter of fact.
everyone on your side assumes the US was instrumental to the Ukrainian revolution, that hasn't been proved and i havent even seen any evidence of what we did or provided. its all just speculation.
we know anti-russian politics were gaining in Ukraine without the USA doing much of anything, and it has been since Ukraine's first presidential election. then out of no where the trade talks with the west disappeared, and under a month later the pro-russian govt is in exile.
Putin squashed EU trade talks, why did he do that? shouldn't he have known that it would result in his puppet getting ousted? oh, that's right, only the NATO are rational enough to blame. Russia is just a bit dumb bunch of blood hungry warmongers and the US should have known better then make them mad.
also, if NATO lets Russia sweep ukraine we still sanction their fuel. that cost is baked in.
