Gotta love when the Subjectively Objective Academic says it's all NATO's fault because they expanded too close to Russia and there was an agreement during the Cold War to not expand into Ukraine.
Which ignores the very simple fact that NATO is application based. Countries apply to join and then the member states have approve it in a vote. It's ironically imperialist to have an agreement with Russia that Ukraine can't join, because it strips away all sovereignty and self determination from Ukraine.
This type continues to forget that. They only see the world as the US and Russia. They don't consider that Ukraine has autonomy.
